Accessing form object from other form

[tonioJ]

Good day!

I have 2 forms in my project. One is the record navigation form and the other is a search form. In a search form, I have a textbox called txtSearchValue and a datagrid. I am planning to create a reusable search form that can be used by other modules in my project.

1. How do I populate the datagrid from record navigation form?
2. How do I access the txtSearchValue text box properties from record navigation from since i will be initializing all controls from record navigation form.

Thank you in advance and more power!

chrissie1 is correct -- in .NET, forms are objects, and obey all the object visibility rules. (Hint: Make what you want accessed from outside the form public)
