What is a "form"? If this is WPF, can you post an example of the XAML?

Sorry i did not mean form .. I meant like Window1.xaml and Window2.xaml....

Basically, you have TextBox elements with their associated Text properties, and you have a Button with a click event or an associated command. When the button is clicked you can get the values of the Text property of the TextBoxes and use them to set the Text properties of the TextBoxes in the other window. Which part of that are you having trouble with? It's hard to give a specific solution without knowing the structure of your code. There's so many different ways to achieve what you need. Mark

Not to be of any bother .. Can you give a example on how to achieve it. Then i can expand from you example.. :-)

Here's an example of the two windows (XAML and code-behind), where the first window has the button.

<Window x:Class="WPFTester.Window1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="150" Width="300" Background="SteelBlue" Loaded="Window_Loaded" >
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Name="TextBox1" Margin="8" />
<TextBox Name="TextBox2" Margin="8" />
<Button Content="Test" Width="80" Margin="8" Click="TestButton_Click" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>

namespace WPFTester
{
public partial class Window1 : Window
{
Window2 window2;

    public Window1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void Window\_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        window2 = new Window2();
        window2.Show();
    }

    private void TestButton\_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        window2.TextBox1.Text = this.TextBox1.Text;
        window2.TextBox2.Text = this.TextBox2.Text;
    }
}

}

<Window x:Class="WPFTester.Window2"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window2" Height="116" Width="300" Background="SteelBlue" >
<StackPanel>
<TextBox Name="TextBox1" Margin="8" />
<TextBox Name="TextBox2" Margin="8" />
</StackPanel>
</Window>

namespace WPFTester
{
public partial class Window2 : Window
{
public Window2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}

AFAIK we can access to each elemant of a Window1.xaml with the namespace & class name of it.
