I set the button visible property to false of Form2
. How I will make the button(Form2
) visible when I click a button(a button that also opens Form2
) from Form1
.
I tried this :
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 f2 = new Form2();
f2.Show();
f2.button1.Visible = true;
f2.button1.Location = new Point(200, 200);
}
Create a method in Form2
public void setButton1Visible(boolean flag){
this.button1.Visible = flag;
}
You cannot access the button directly from Form1. (Actually you can,but it is not right way to solve it.
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 f2 = new Form2();
f2.Show();
f2.setButton1Visible(true);
}
I think button1 is declared as private. Your code will work if you declare button1 as public.
public System.Windows.Forms.Button button1;
Imagine you control is in form 1. Set corresponding control "modifiers = public" from control property window
Form 1
private void ShowForm2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 NewForm = new Form2();
NewForm.Owner = this;
NewForm.Show();
}
In Form 2
private void ChangeProperty_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
(this.Owner as Form1).MyButton.Visible = false;
}
//while doing this Control In Form1 will be hidden :)
