Yes you can retrieve it .

Here i have Taken 2 Forms Sample1 and Sample 2 From Sample 1 We can launch Sample 2 When we launch Sample2 It Changes the TextBox Text in Sample1 to "Hello "

private void Sample2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { FormCollection coll = Application.OpenForms; foreach (Form f in coll) { if (f.Name == "Sample1") { Control[] t = f.Controls.Find("textBox1", true); ((TextBox)(t[0])).Text = "Hello"; } } }
Happy Coding :)
