[RESOLVED] Change buttonname on a second form

[xavier73]

I want to change a button name of form1 and I want to do this from form2.
When i click on a button on form2 i want to change it.
I'm using form1.button1.text="Name"
But i get the message:
'Button1' is not a member of System.Windows.Forms.Mainmenu

How can i do this??

You apparently have a MainMenu component on Form2 named "Form1". Not a very appropriate name for a menu, plus you should use a MenuStrip in preference to a mainMenu anyway.

The mainmenu form is called menu and the second form is called settings.
I open the settings form on the menustrip of the menu form. On the settings form i have a button and when i press this the name of a button on the mainmenu has to be changed. I hope that this makes it more clear.

If the name of the form is MainMenu, then why are you using Form1 in your code?

Is the name of the Button on form MainMenu called Button1?

I have changed the name menu to main_menu of my first form and now it works fine. You can't use the name menu.
