Control access

[ventsislav]

I want to transfer items from the combo boxes (those in F2 are public) in Form2 to those in Form1. Why' s not working like this?

Form2

public partial class Form2 : Form
{
    Form1 form1 = new Form1();

    ...

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        form1.comboBox1.Items.Add(this.comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString());
        form1.comboBox2.Items.Add(this.comboBox2.SelectedItem.ToString());
    }
}

What you've shown is fine, but I'll bet it's not what you meant.

You have made a NEW instance of a Form1 form, then put everything into your new Form1.

Is that what you meant, or were you trying to move combobox contents into an already existing Form1?

It could be an access thing... is combobox1 in Form1 a private member? You might want to declare a public property for access.

I fixed it. Made it static and called it from F2 with Form1.. Thanks!
