big dynamic form

[arniebarnie]

I made a form MainForm, that consists of multiple screens, which are all user controls.
Now, from one of the user controls i want to access a function that belongs to the MainForm.
Can anybody tell me how to do this?

Sure but then we would have to shoot you because of the poor design. Ever heard of the MVC (Model View Controler) Design Pattern?

Yes, it's bad design (as Pete pointed out!). But to do this you would have to pass a copy of the instance variable of your parent form to your child control.

You'll see this in the .NET controls as the .Parent property.
