[C#] Accesing properties on a parent (MDI Forms)

[Fabian-]

Is there any way i can easily access the properties of a MDI parent , from an MDI child??? let's say i have a text box on the parent and i need to read its value from the child form...how do i do that? :blink:

Yes. Use the MdiParent property of your child form to access the parent form. You can use any public or internal members, but not private or protected, just like normal (Y) If you want to make the textbox's data available publicly, you'll have to create a property or method to access the parent form's textbox.

// C#
public string MyText
{
 ? ?get
 ? ?{
 ? ? ? ?return this.TextBox1.Text;
 ? ?}
 ? ?set
 ? ?{
 ? ? ? ?this.TextBox1.Text = value;
 ? ?}
}
