I just went through this two or three times and it feels like I just learned in six minutes what would've taken six weeks to learn from other "dry" tutorials. Again, good job.
That was so cool. I've been hacking away at this for over an hour. This video was clear and straight to the point. Thanks. You saved me a lot of time. :D
Hi. I have a problem with the example given here. I have a Form object named EDF1 on the form I have public static cmdrName, shipName_z etc. So I have this code in EDF1 form: public static EDF1 instance; public Label cmdrName_z; public Label shipName_z; and instance = this; cmdrName_z = cmdrName; shipName_z = shipName; Then in the second class project file I have a function public void read_file (string changeFile) in which I read the changes that appeared in the file given as "changeFile". If the change is significant, I enter it into the element on the EDF1 form with the code: EDF1.instance.cmdrName_z.Text = newValue The problem is, I get an exception once in a while: "Invalid cross-thread operation: The 'cmdrName' control is being accessed from a thread other than the thread on which it was created." This exception was originally thrown on this call stack: System.Windows.Forms.Control.Handle.get () System.Windows.Forms.Control.WindowText.set (string) System.Windows.Forms.Control.Text.set (string) ED_Informator.Jurnal.read_file (string) in Jurnal.cs ED_Informator.EDF1.OnChanged (object, System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) in Form1.cs System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.OnChanged (System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.CompletionStatusChanged (uint, uint, System.Threading.NativeOverlapped *) System.Threading._IOCompletionCallback.PerformIOCompletionCallback (uint, uint, System.Threading.NativeOverlapped *) Same appeal EDF1.instance.cmdrName_z.Text = newValue There are also two other functions, one of which is called to read some information from the most recently created change log file. The second pre-checks the file after creating a new change log file.
I kept finding programs opening multiple instances of form2 every time I transferred data, but this does exactly what I needed. Since I am using some hardware in combination with advanced mathematical processing to send messages back from the future, you will be first in line for the lottery numbers when everything is up and running. Thank you! I presume I can run a chart control using similar methods? There are so many charts in my program that one form is not enough.
Using the method in this video, I opened the serial port in form 1 and read the value from the serial port in other forms. But other opened forms do not work simultaneously. What can I do about this situation?
Hi, I want to do this but from form1 I want to be able to hide form 2 using a button. So When you press a button on form 1 it will hide form2 something like (form2.Hide();) I have tried lots of ways and none of them are working
I'm not sure if you can help me but whenever I try accessing something from the other form it gives me this exception error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." public partial class FormConfig : Form { public static FormConfig instance; public TextBox tbCaminhoCadastros; //Constructor public FormConfig() { InitializeComponent(); instance = this; tbCaminhoCadastros = txtCaminhoCadastros; } } public partial class FormMain : Form { private void wathexSolutions_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { FormConfig.instance.tbCaminhoCadastros.Text = "test"; } } The exeptions occurs for everything I try to access from "FormConfig" and not just for that textBox, it also happens when I try to access it from the "FormMain" Constructor too, are there anything I'm missing?
I have a question regarding example 2. Let's say I open multiple instances of "Form2" using "button1". If I write something on textbox2 and apply the change pressing "button change form2", will the label in all instances of Form2 change? Or will only the last opened form be affected? After a bit of experimenting, the latter seems to be the case, but I wonder if it's possible to make the change apply to all instances of Form2 instead of just the last one. If you have any ideas I'd like to hear them. In advance, thank you for your time!
form2.cs using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace databtwforms { public partial class Form2 : Form { //list of all instance of form2 opened by form1 private static List instancesList; public Label lab1; //this constructor run only one time because its static for initialization of list static Form2() { instancesList = new List(); } public Form2() { InitializeComponent(); instancesList.Add(this); lab1 = label1; } private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Form1.instance.tb1.Text = "set by form2"; } //NEWLY CREATED METHOD public static void ChangeAllText(string text) { foreach (var item in instancesList) { item.lab1.Text = text; } } } }
so bascially each time we are creating a form2 we are storing instance info in a list, and when its time to change textbox we are change all the instances textboxes
help! i want to make an OS and in it, I tried to detect whether a program is closed or minimized so when I tried to make the "public TextBox tb1;" part, I changed it to "public Form calculator" and I tried to do the "tb1 = textbox1;" and it looks like this "calculator = Form.Calculator;" but it doesn't work, could you help? EDIT!!: i just remembered that instead of using the form name(Calculator.cs) for the same form(Calculator.cs), could have just typed in "calculator = this;" rather than "calculator = Form.Calculator;", still good video tho, its explains a lot of stuff i didn't understand
It is rare, but i have a warning about the posibility of being instance a null value. It has zero sense, and it doesn't does any damage, it is a curiosity.
@@HassaanRaza yes i did, but after this everytime i use the instance the vs says something like the instance can be null. It doesn't matter, the trick works very well.
Hey great Video. I have a question when I create an instance of form 2 in the form 1 click event why can't I access methods/data using that instance name? Form2 newForm2 = new Form2(); string title = newForm2.getTitle; //This doesn't work and says that there is no getTitle function) and in Form2 I have defined public string getTitle() { return titleTextBox.text; } Using your way works perfectly just wonder why.
@@HassaanRaza I had the () in the code just forget them here. The issue was I mistakenly made it Form newForm2 = new Form2() instead of Form2 newForm2 = new Form2() No idea how that happened.
bro first of all, thanks for the tutorial .. how about calling the form directly without creating an instance of it . inside form2 .. form1.textbox1.text .. what's wrong with it .. with all do respect .. it doesn't make sense to me to create multiple public variables in order to get data from the parent form .. I've been doing this for entire my life ..
form1 is not static, so you need the exact instance of form1 to work on thats why its important to create a variable. (the variable store the exact instance of form1) that we want to change.

Hi.
I have a problem with the example given here.
I have a Form object named EDF1 on the form I have public static cmdrName, shipName_z etc.
So I have this code in EDF1 form:
public static EDF1 instance;
public Label cmdrName_z;
public Label shipName_z;
and
instance = this;
cmdrName_z = cmdrName;
shipName_z = shipName;
Then in the second class project file I have a function
public void read_file (string changeFile)
in which I read the changes that appeared in the file given as "changeFile".
If the change is significant, I enter it into the element on the EDF1 form with the code:
EDF1.instance.cmdrName_z.Text = newValue
The problem is, I get an exception once in a while:
"Invalid cross-thread operation: The 'cmdrName' control is being accessed from a thread other than the thread on which it was created."
This exception was originally thrown on this call stack:
System.Windows.Forms.Control.Handle.get ()
System.Windows.Forms.Control.WindowText.set (string)
System.Windows.Forms.Control.Text.set (string)
ED_Informator.Jurnal.read_file (string) in Jurnal.cs
ED_Informator.EDF1.OnChanged (object, System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) in Form1.cs
System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.OnChanged (System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs)
System.IO.FileSystemWatcher.CompletionStatusChanged (uint, uint, System.Threading.NativeOverlapped *)
System.Threading._IOCompletionCallback.PerformIOCompletionCallback (uint, uint, System.Threading.NativeOverlapped *)
Same appeal
EDF1.instance.cmdrName_z.Text = newValue
There are also two other functions, one of which is called to read some information from the most recently created change log file. The second pre-checks the file after creating a new change log file.
Perfect tutorial 😍... You are saved my project

thats awesome :)
Great Video - Thank you very much :)
you're welcome :)
for combobox instead of textbox how it will coded as puplic
how would u do this with only one form active and the other hidden?
If i would like to share information from FORM to FORM2, by in this case. To appear in Datagridview from From2. It´s the same proccess?
yes, if i remember correctly its the datagrid.datasource which contains you can tranfer it the same way.
thank you , I need it to my project
you saved my life thank you so much

don't worry its just a stupid warning from vs2022,
if you want to get rid of it use
example
Form? data type instead of Form

it will show up!

@@HassaanRaza I had the () in the code just forget them here. The issue was I mistakenly made it
Form newForm2 = new Form2() instead of Form2 newForm2 = new Form2()

How would I do this with radioButtons?
Thank you very much 👍👍 very usefull
Is this what we also call "Code to call form"?
we saving the reference of the form then using it to locate the form that we need to change, don't know if it called by the phrase you wrote.
@@HassaanRaza oh i'm so sorry I thought this is it. I was having a hard time finding something like what I said. Can't even see what is this.
Great Job Bro Adamsın
Can u plz tell how can we close form 1 through form 2
we'll that's a good question, you will be needing the reference of form 1 in your form 2, you can get the reference by "this" keyword
oh thank you this video help me to solve my problem
its great to know!
Very nice 👍👍👍
Thank you this helped me :)
Good💐💐💐👌
Best solution ! Thanks
very nice
my problem is for me that i cant figure out how to use a public vector in 2 forms?
make a new class put a public static vector there than you can use it in all forms
but how do i that? im new to this?. is it easy?
