Passing Parameters Between Two Forms

[sjf905]

Hello, I have one main form with a text box that needs to be filled by a parameter from a second form (which opens on a button click in form1). Right now I have something that looks like this:

//in form1
private void button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) {
form2 f2 = new form2();
f2.Show();
//looks like I need some kind of system pause here...I tried a system pause and a Console.ReadLine, to no avail
textBox1.Text = f2.param.ToString();
}

The problem is that f2.param fills the textBox right away, before it can be retrieved from the user on form2. If its not obvious, I'm a little new to C#.
Thanks for the help.

Hi,

The Show method shows the other form and continues processing the method. In case of using Show you should use ShowDialog. This forces the application to wait until form2 is closed again.

Greetz,
