Communication between forms

[Dean L. Howen]

Please show me advise.

My problem is: how to communication between forms?

I have 3 forms:
The 1st:
parent form: is MDI --> I call parentForm
The 2nd:
child form is called by parentForm --> I call

it childForm1
it contains Button1
The 2nd:
child form is called by parentForm --> I call

it childForm2
it contains Button2

----------

I want the parentForm to do something, example get

data form childForm1,
when childForm1.Button1 is clicked --> how does

parentForm know
childForm1.Button1 is clicked?

Similarly to childForm2 and childForm1,
how does childForm1 know childForm2.Button2 is

clicked?

------------------------
Thank so much

Read MSDN for delegates.

This topic is covered in most of the intro-level books on C# windows form
programming. First off, I'd recommend that you start with a good book.

I would agree to a point. It is covered in some form or another in most
books. I have read most of them but I feel that none of them have done a
good job on this topic. The link is the best reference I've seen so far!
