Hi,

Use directcast to get access to the properties of the mdi parent form.
The below example will change the text for an mdi parent form2.

DirectCast(Me.MdiParent, Form2).Text = "Live from mdi child"

In addition to your post: You can use an instance variable if you
access more than one member:

\\\
Dim f As Form2 = DirectCast(Me.MdiParent, Form2)
f.Text = ...
f.BackColor = ...
....
