Re: How to use multiple forms and UserControls in c# windows application?

This is how to add a new control.

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
public class Form1
{
  private UserControl1 userControl;
   public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
 
            userControl = new UserControl1();
            this.Controls.Add(userControl);
        }
}
public class Form1
{
  private UserControl1 userControl;
   public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            userControl = new UserControl1();
            this.Controls.Add(userControl);
        }
}

Mi idea is.

1.On the UserControl1.cs create a 2 propertys one for 'toolStrimpButton1' and another for 'toolStripButton2'.

2.On the Form2.cs create a property for the RitchTextBox.

3.
On Form1.cs create a new instance of UserControl1 and add it to the form(as showed above).

Subscribe to the click event of each UserContro1's buttons(e.i ToolStripButton1.Click += new EventHnadler(ShowForm2)) and implement the handler

If you want information about 'event' see these links(both links belong to one article but these are the topics you nedd for solving your problem).
