I set Form Control Modifiers: Public and FolderBrowseDialog Seletedpath not be transferred to Form2
Form 1 :

{
Form1 Frm1 = new Form1();
webBrowser1.Url = new Uri(Frm1.txtpath.Text);
}
any solution...?

Welcome to StackOverflow!
The problem is, if I understand it correctly from the code you post it, is that you create a new instance of Form2 and then in the Loadevent of the Form2 you create a new instance of Form1 and the information you need is the instance of Form1 you already have.
You already have an instance of Form1. I would do it by two one of the 2 options:
Create a public property in Form2 and assign it when creating the Form2 instance
public class Form2: Form
{
//{...}
public string SelectedPath { get; set;}
//{...}
private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser1.Url = new Uri(this.SelectedPath);
}
}
private void Showfrm2Btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 Frm2 = new Form2();
Frm2.SelectedPath = txtpath.Text;
Frm2.ShowDialog();
}
Create an argument in the Form2 constructor and pass the selected path from Form1
public class Form2: Form
{
//{...}
private string _selectedPath;
public Form2(string selectedPath)
{
_selectedPath = selectedPath;
}
//{...}
private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser1.Url = new Uri(_selectedPath);
}
}
private void Showfrm2Btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 Frm2 = new Form2(txtpath.Text);
Frm2.ShowDialog();
}

C# - Setting a Value in a Button then passing it into a ListView

I have two forms, form1 and form2.
In form1, there is are two buttons, button1 and button2.
In form2, there is a listview, ListView1.
button1 should hold a string value called "Vanilla".
When button2 is pressed it opens form2.
On form2, in listview1 it should show "Vanilla" in the first column.
Form1
public partial class form1 : Form
{
public static string buttonValue = "";
public form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
buttonValue = "Vanilla";
}
public void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
form2 form2 = new form2();
form2.Show();
this.Hide();
}
Form2
public partial class form2 : Form
{
public form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
You can design the second form as bellow:
public partial class form2 : Form
{
public form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private string _passedValue = "";
public form2(string passedValue)
{
InitializeComponent();
_passedValue = passedValue;
listView1.Items.Add(_passedValue);
}
private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
You can pass the value stored in the first button using the bellow code.
public void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
form2 form2 = new form2(buttonValue);
form2.Show();
this.Hide();
}

Add combobox item from another form won't work

I want to add an item to my combobox in form1 from form2. But if I press the button, form2 closes but the item is not added in form1. I hope you can help me! I found no solution for this problem in the internet.
Form 2:
public void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form1 main = new Form1();
main.AddItem("Item");
this.Close();
}
Form 1:
public void AddItem(object item)
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(item);
}
First of all: You have to change comboBox access modifier to public. Then:
Form 2:
public void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form1 main = new Form1();
main.AddItem("Item");
this.Hide(); // This will hide Form2 ("this." is redundant)
main.ShowDialog(); // This will show Form1
}
Reference the name property of your 'Form1' don't create a new instance. Then reference that forms combobox control.
Your original code creates a NEW instance. Meaning its creating a new version of Form1 and not accessing the original!
The code below should help
public void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form1 myForm = whateverYourFormsNamePropertyIs;
myForm.Combobox.AddItem("Item");
this.Close();
}
In form2...
Form1 f;
public Form2(Form1 parent)
{
InitializeComponent();
f = parent;
}
private void Add_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
f.comboBox1.Items.Add("item");
}
In form1
public void AddItem(object item)
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(item);
Form2 f = new Form2(this);
f.Show();
}
orginal form
private void FormPeople_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
populateComboBoxTitles();
}
public void populateComboBoxTitles()
{
comboBox2.Items.Clear();
comboBox2.Items.Add("mr");
comboBox2.Items.Add("miss");
}
private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FormAddTitle formAddTitle = new FormAddTitle(this);
formAddTitle.Show();
}
secondary form
FormPeople formPeople;
public FormAddTitle(FormPeople formPeople)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.formPeople = formPeople;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (formPeople != null)
formPeople.populateComboBoxTitles();
}

Changing a image of a picturebox in form 1 from form2

I made a program where I need to change my Picturebox in Form1. This needs to happen in the 2nd form(Form2)
Form2:
private void btnBrowseFirstAd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog OFD = new OpenFileDialog();
if (OFD.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
tbFirstAdBlock.Text = OFD.FileName;
}
}
private void btnChangeFirstAd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form1 Screen = new Form1();
Screen.changePB(tbFirstAdBlock.Text);
}
Form1
public void changePB(string PBLocation)
{
pbAddOne.Image = Image.FromFile(PBLocation);
}
Sadly the picturebox isn't changing.
In Form2 you need to have link to Form1:
class Form2
{
public Form1 form1;
.....
private void btnChangeFirstAd_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
form1.changePB(tbFirstAdBlock.Text);
form1.Refresh();
}
}
....
void Main()
{
Form1 Screen =new Form1();
Form2 Screen1 =new Form2();
Screen1.form1=Screen;
}
....

how to pass listview row data into another existing form

i want to have 2 forms in which the first form has a button that will load up form2 in a dialog form. form2 will show a listview displaying the data of a student. now i need to extract the 1st index of the selected row. once i double click on the row, form2 would close and pass the data into a textbox in form1.
i have used the code below which closes my form1 and creates a new instance of form1 in form2.
from form2:
private void listView1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var cl = listView1.Items[listView1.FocusedItem.Index].SubItems[0].Text;
Form1 wa= new Form1();
wa.loadid(cl);
wa.Show();
this.Close();
}
from form1:
private void btnReq_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 f2= new Form2();
f2.Show();
this.Close();
}
public void loadid(String ms)
{
String newstring = ms;
studentid.Text = newstring;
}
I suggest using a Dialog, it makes it very easy:
This is Form1. You instantiate and open f2 as Dialog and then wait for its result.OK
private void Button1_Click(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
var f2 = new Form2();
if (f2.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
studentId.Text = f2.SelectedStudentId;
} else {
studentId.Text = "Select a Student!!!!";
}
}
This in Form2, where you have created your listview and a public property to expose:
public string SelectedStudentId { get; set; }
private void listView1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var cl = listView1.Items[listView1.FocusedItem.Index].SubItems[0].Text;
SelectedStudentId = cl;
DialogResult = DialogResult.OK; //will close this dialog (form2)
}
This should work for you
In Form1 create a public variable like this:
public partial class Form1: Form
{
//New variable
public static string StudentIDVal;
Then, change the button click on Form1 to be:
private void btnReq_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 f2= new Form2();
f2.ShowDialog();
studentid.Text = StudentIDVal;
}
Then, on Form2 on the item click you can simply have:
private void listView1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var cl = listView1.Items[listView1.FocusedItem.Index].SubItems[0].Text;
Form1.StudentIDVal = cl.ToString();
this.Close();
}

Transferring data from Form2 (textbox2) to Form1 (textbox1)? [duplicate]

I would like to control Form1 from Form2
I'm a newbie to C# and I can't find the answer I'm looking for in google, so I'm hoping someone here could help me. I'm only practicing to transfer data (or pass, call it however you want) from a form to another.
Here's what I have:
I have 2 forms - Form1 and Form2.
Form1 contains a textbox (named txtForm1) and a button (named btnForm1).
Form2 contains a textbox (named txtForm2) and a button (named btnForm2).
After running the application, by clicking the button btnForm1, the user opens Form2. The text that the user writes in the textbox (txtForm2) should be transfered to the textbox (txtForm1, which button is disabled) in Form1.
How can I do this transfer?
Edited:
Okay i need to be clear that this is all the code i have:
Form1 (button which opens Form2):
private void btnForm1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
new Form2().Show();
}
Form2 (button which closes Form2):
private void btnForm2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
}
I have NOTHING ELSE. (I'm a total newbie)
Make a public variable and pass it the value from your text box and then onto your second form.
public static string myVar;
myVar = txtForm2.Text;
and when you return to the first form:
txtForm1.Text = Form2.myVar;
In your Form2 you should have some like:
private void btnForm2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Hide();
}
public String GettxtForm2()
{
return txtForm2.Text;
}
Now in form1 you can acces that txtForm2 with something like:
Form2 form2 = new Form2();
//on click btnForm1 show that form2 where you can edit the txtForm2
private void btnForm1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
form2.Show();
}
//after you save the txtForm2 when you will focus back to form1 the txtForm1 will get the value from txtForm2
private void Form1_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtForm1.Text = Form2.GettxtForm2();
}
You can easy modify the events where all this logic can occur...
in Form1:
public void SetTextboxText(String text)
{
txtForm1.Text = text;
}
private void btnForm1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var frm = new Form2(this); // pass parent form (this) in constructor
frm.Show();
}
in Form2:
Form _parentForm;
public Form2(Form form)
{
_parentForm = form;
}
private void txtForm2_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_parentForm.SetTextboxText(txtForm2.Text); // change Form1.txtForm1.Text
}
Try this ;)
On Form1:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 frm2 = new Form2(textBox1.Text);
frm2.Show();
this.Hide();
}
On form2:
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public string textBoxValue;
public Form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public Form2(string textBoxValue)
{
InitializeComponent();
this.textBoxValue = textBoxValue;
}
private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textBox2.Text = textBoxValue;
}
