Refering to a control on an MDI Parent **RESOLVED**

[VBGuy]

I am trying to set some text in on a command button on an MDIParent form from an MDIChild form. How do I reference the control?

I have made the scommand button public and the following code errors.

Me.MDIParent.Button1.text = "Test"

So how do I go about doing this?

here's a quick example i made...
In Form1 ( the Parent Form )

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim frmChild As New Form2()
        frmChild.MdiParent = Me '/// tell the child that this is the parent form.
        frmChild.Show()
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub MenuItem1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem1.Click
        MessageBox.Show("test")
    End Sub

then in the child Form ( eg: Form2 )

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim frmMain As Form1 = Me.MdiParent '/// tell the parent that this is it's child form.
        frmMain.MenuItem1.PerformClick()
    End Sub
