Calling Form controls from Other classes

[battula32]

Hi All,

Here I have some problem. my main form become too bit, It has lot of controls, And one timer is running in it, for loading and performing some tasks it is taking time, For that I want to redesign(Reaggange) my application structure,
"Mainly i want to move some controls code to different class", Is there any way of accessing Form controls from other class. Like

class Class1
{
private string text="Hello";
public void AccessFromControls()
{
button1.Text=text; //Like this
}
}

Please provide some way to proceed.

Regards
Ravi

Before accessing the controls from a class, that class needs to know about the instance of the form. So you will need to have a way of letting your class know that there is form existing whose controls you want to access. This can be done by having a property where you can set which Form you are going to use and then you also need to make the controls in your form public.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. I got it. I missed making the control as public.
