use of a value in a form in another one

i'm having a problem... i have a tab of buttons.. what i want is when i click one button i have to read the text written on and then open a new form with a background image having the same text as written on the button of the previous form... so here what i have to learn is how to know the text on the button clicked and then use this text in the next form to choose the corresponding image

Predictably, you get at the button text by using the button.Text property. So, if your button is called "butPassMyTextToANewForm", yoiu would get the text by saying: String s = butPassMyTextToANewForm.Text; Pass that to you new form, and off you go!

All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand.
