Forms2’s code should be
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
Form1 frm1;
public Form2(Form1 parent)
{
InitializeComponent();
frm1 = parent;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frm1.Visible = false;
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frm1.Visible = true;
}
}
}
Even though the both talk to each other, one must be created first and passed to the second one.
Form1 will need to be tweeked to
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
frm2 = new Form2(this);
}
The other way to do it is create both and pass it after construction
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public class SomewhereElse
{
public void SomeFunction()
{
Form1 form1= new Form1();
Form2 form2= new Form2();
form1.frm2 = form2;
form2.frm1 = form1;
}
}
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form1 frm1 {get; set;}
public Form2(Form1 parent)
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frm1.Visible = false;
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frm1.Visible = true;
}
}
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form2 frm2 {get; set;}
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frm2.Visible = false;
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frm2.Visible = true;
}
}
}
