Getting Value of textbox from another form

Hi Matt Speller,

   Thanks for spending your time to reply me.

     Sorry, i didnt mention that i'm using "Composite UI Application Block"(CAB) in Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 .

Thank u once again

If the textbox is a value that is required by the grid at all times, then the grid could show the form1 as a modal/non modal dialog when the load method on form2 is run. This form can be held as a class level variable.

The form1 can have a public property exposing the value of the textbox.

Another alternative is to create an instance of the form1 when the user presses a button on form2. Create a modal dialog and when the user closes this window if the dialogresult == ok then take the value from the property before disposing of the form1 instance and use as required.

Something must have to create an instance of the form1 to access the value, so I would create it up front in the form2 code, or even better have a controlling class create both forms and passing the reference to form1 into form2.

Hope this helps
