Navigating between multiple forms in C#

[daz4805]

Hi,

I have been looking for an example on the web to reference a form within another form so that the properties can be used in the 2nd form. I have found a VB example (unfortunately i know nothing about VB) below but i have not been able to find a c# example.


The VB code in question is: -

Dim myForm As Form2
Private Sub Button1_Click( _
  ByVal sender As System.Object, _
  ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
  Handles Button1.Click
  If myForm Is Nothing Then
    myForm = New Form2
    myForm.myCaller = Me
  End If
  myForm.Show()
End Sub

I have a form that opens another form. The 2nd form then opens a 3rd form form etc. I need to be able to reference the first form within the 2nd form so that if i click on a back button it hides the 2nd form and re-opens the 1st form and then if i click next on the 1st form i need to be able to re-open the 2nd form.

Can anyone please help me?

Thanks.

You could use the overloaded Show method for the Form object and pass "this" as owner, then you can find out with the second forms Owner property.

In form1:

Form2 f = new Form2();
f.Show(this);

In form2:

MessageBox.Show(this.Owner.ToString());

Maybe not the best way, but a way.
