how to call a static function of class Form?

tata

I want to create a function "public static void draw()" in class "public partial class Form1 : Form" in my C# window form application.

When i set static to my own function , i can not use controls in form . Specific , i want to use event Paint of a my panel in form ( i name it is panel1 ) by call panel1.Invalidate(); in my own function (draw) . But when my function is set to static ( i want use it in other class ) , i can not use this control panel. Can you help me a solution? Thank you very much.

thank you for reply! I understand my controls in form are not static and it can not use by a static function.

I think you need to read a good book about the C# language, or at least some beginner tutorials. There are many resources such as that that can explain what you need to understand much better than I can.
