wish to make it accessible to other forms
after form2 perform some drawing, it need to call
form1.picbox.invalidate() to refresh the picbox, how to
declare the picbox?anyone have idea?

dim frm1 as form1
frm1 = new form1()

frm1.picbox.invalidate

the above code will not work becoz i not wish to create a
new instance of form1, wat i wan is to refresh the picbox
that already has some drawing on the activated form1..

There is an article describing how to do this:
Working with Multiple Forms in Visual Basic .NET

t/html/vbtchWorkingWithMultipleFormsInVisualBasicNETUpgra dingToNET.asp

Describes how working with multiple forms has changed from previous editions
of Microsoft Visual Basic and illustrates several key techniques, including
displaying a second form, changing the appearance of another form, and using
a form as a dialog. (8 printed pages)
