Please copy and paste the error you're getting.

commented: good question and meant for all when asking questions like this +2

Hi, it seems like your CurrentControl is of type TutorialControl and then you are calling a method Add() from this class but we don't have any idea what is the error you are getting in CurrentControl.Add(); and moreover the members of that class are not visible here.
So, it would be better for us to help you out if could possibly paste your code and so that someone could take a closer look on the same.

                              if (control != null)
                                        control.ForceHide();
                    }
                    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e) {
                              base.OnLoad(e);

                    }
                    protected override void RegisterTutorials() {
                              NcExpress.Service.iConfig.Win.RegisterTutorials.Register();
                    }

                    public CSMainForm() {
                              InitializeComponent();
                              menucontroller = new MenuController(this);
                    }

                    internal Button OpenButton { get { return button1; } }
                    internal Button CloseButton { get { return button2; } }
          }

and this registertutorials

public class RegisterTutorials {
                    public static void Register() {
                              AppsInfo.Add("UserControl1", typeof(NcExpress.Service.iConfig.Win.Modules.UserControl1), "General");
                    }
          }

it looks lik eyou aren't setting CurrentControl to any value and therefore contains null. When your event handler for Click gets called, CurrentControl.Add() doesn't actually have a value.

Instead of writing the following :-

void InitButtonActions() {
    parent.OpenButton.Click += new EventHandler(delegate { CurrentControl.Add(); }); 
}


public TutorialControl CurrentControl {
    get { return currentcontrol; }
    set {
        if (currentcontrol == value)
            return;
        currentcontrol = value;
    }
}

Try swapping both and write as :-

public TutorialControl CurrentControl {
    get { return currentcontrol; }
    set {
        if (currentcontrol == value)
            return;
        currentcontrol = value;
    }
}


void InitButtonActions() {
    parent.OpenButton.Click += new EventHandler(delegate { CurrentControl.Add(); }); 
}

It may help you because now the CurrentControl has been initialized and it may not throw any error if you do CurrentControl.Add()

I already tried swap code, it does not work. thank you so much

and

Ketsuekiame

for kind. I will wait. And i tried to fix it every day but i can't fix it.

Thank KM499 and Ketsuekiame Now i can fix it.

i add this to TuterialControlBase

protected override void OnVisibleChanged(EventArgs e) {
                              if (DesignMode)
                                        return;
                              base.OnVisibleChanged(e);
                              if (this.Visible)
                                        DoShow();
                              else
                                        DoHide();
                    }
                    protected virtual void DoHide() { }
                    protected virtual void DoShow() { }

                    public MenuController MenuController {
                          get {
                                    if (parent != null)
                                              return parent.MenuController;
                                    return null;
                          }
                }

and this in TuterialControl

protected override void DoShow() {
                              base.DoShow();
                              MenuController.CurrentControl = this;
                    }

and this in CSMainForm

public MenuController MenuController { get { return menucontroller; } }
