I have a main form named: MainForm and a child form named: ChildForm
I want to fill ChildForm's textboxes and in MainForm_ButtonClick i want to fire ChildForm_ButtonClick event.
ChildForm:
public partial class ChildForm :Form
{
public delegate void delPassData(TextEdit text);
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string depart = "";
MainForm mfrm = new MainForm();
delPassData del = new delPassData(frm.funData);
del(this.Item_CodeTextEdit);
}
}
MainForm:
public partial class MainForm : Form
{
public void funData(TextEdit txtForm1)
{
string ss = "";
ss = txtForm1.Text;
MessageBox.Show(ss);
}
private void NavigationPanelBtns_ButtonClick(object sender, ButtonEventArgs e)
{
switch (e.Button.Properties.Caption)
{
case "Save":
// i want to call funData() here but i get an empty messageBox
break;
}
}
}
Child form
public partial class ChildForm : Form
{
public ChildForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
MainForm.OnChildTextChanged += MainForm_OnChildTextChanged;
MainForm.OnButtonClick += MainForm_OnButtonClick;
bttn1.Visible = false;
}
void MainForm_OnButtonClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.bttn1.PerformClick();
}
void MainForm_OnChildTextChanged(string value)
{
this.textBox1.Text = value;
}
private void bttn1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("I am hide. But shows message");
}
}
public class Bttn : Button
{
public new void PerformClick()
{
this.OnClick(EventArgs.Empty);
}
}
Create a Parent Form
public partial class MainForm : Form
{
public delegate void OnMyTextChanged(string value);
public delegate void ButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs e);
public static event OnMyTextChanged OnChildTextChanged;
public static event ButtonClicked OnButtonClick;
ChildForm frm = new ChildForm();
public MainForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
frm.Show();
}
public void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OnChildTextChanged("this is new value");
OnButtonClick(sender, e);
}
}
To access a textbox in another form:
Set Modifier
property of the the textbox to public
in child form.
In main form, access the textbox by an object of the child form.
Eg:
obj.txtBox.Text="MyValue";
To access an event in another form:
Set the event handling function to public
.
Invoke the function by passing null
as parameters by the object of the form.
Eg:
obj.MyButton_Click(null, null);
