[darklucifer]

dear friends
im stuck in this program which i working for a cafee, it is about read the total from a form. when i click the button total a amother form well appiear where it allows user to put the cash in.... i created some thing like this but when ever i compile it opens a new form not the form with the total of the goods (this may confuce you any way this is the best way i can explain this). this maybe the matter that i call it "Welcome frm = new Welcome ();" just wondering is there any other way i can do this if so what is that?
any help you people can do is apprieciated


/*Welcome frm = new Welcome ();
double d = double.Parse (txtPayments.Text);
frm.TxtDisplay.AppendText("Payment is: " + d.ToString());
this.Close ();
frm.Visible = true;*/

OK, I'm not sure if I understand your problem, but you need to do three things.

1. Create a property in the dialog (form) you wish to display so that you can extract the information out of a textbox.

public class Welcome : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
   ...
   
   public string Payment
   {
      get
      {
         return txtPayment.Text;
      }
   }
}

2. Make sure that the button on your dialog has the DialogResult set correctly.

3. Call the form like this:

private void OnClick(objecy sender, EventArgs e)
{
   Welcome wel = new Welcome();
   if (wel.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
        thePayment = wel.Payment;

   ...
}

I hope that helps. If not, I haven't understood the question.

Cheers!
