How do you Pass Data from a MDI Child form to its Parent form?

[Ennis Ray Lynch Jr]

One common way is to create events in the child form and have the parent form register a listener Another method is to have a singleton class somewhere that handles the data You can always pass data through the message loop Some people choose to write to files (Heck with XP you can even register a folder listener so you can only check the FS when there is an update) You could write to a database and continuously poll it You could make all of your members public :) this.Parent will give you the parent of an MDI child form BTW A man said to the universe: "Sir I exist!" "However," replied the Universe, "The fact has not created in me A sense of obligation." -- Stephen Crane
