Two forms and call event

[sridharavijay]

I have notepad like application.
I have two forms basically and one button on each form and my mainform is the startup form. If I click on button1 on it. Form2 appears which has a button2 on it.. I need to raise a event in Form1(or a method in Form1) when I click button on form2. How can I do it. I'm completely new to C#... but aware of oop...

Please help

you can pass a reference to your MainForm and call the event you want. Something like this. But still, you can variate to something you are comfortable with. C# is flexible.

Form1 is the main form

        static void Main()
        {
            Application.Run(new Form1());
        }

        public void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Button 2 Clicked");
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            new Form2(this).ShowDialog();
        }

and on Form2

        Form1 caller;
        public Form2(Form1 f)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.caller=f;
        }

        private void Form2_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {        
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
            caller.button2_Click(this,e);
        }

Hope this helps.

FormBorderStyle

About the ToolTip, there's a control named ToolTip. You can add it on your from then go to every controls you want to have tooltip'ed. There should be something like ToolTip on ToolTipn property.
