but for datagridview there is not a property like SelectedIndex Thanks & Regards

You can of course handle the events manually based on what the other CP member posted. One option that works with almost everything (not sure about tab pages), is to include an underscore before the appropriate letter in the tabpage letter. When the user presses Alt the underscores will show in the application and the appropriate letter can be sent with the alt statement.

Have a look at the PrintDocument[^] class. Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good

I didn't think of that type of concept for the Tag property. kudos Regards, Thomas Stockwell Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

If the length of the string in the multiline textbox is greater than 0, append the Environment.NewLine and the value from the other textbox. Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before. My blog | My articles

have a public variable in mdi window, once you open the child forms, in the form load assign the control to mdi public variables instead of access the form2 text box , access the mdi variable. regards Elayaraja.S

You can do that by having a "manager" class that manage the child form. 1. Caller call a method in the manager, given the type of the form that you want to open. 2. Manager check MdiChildren of that type, if it finds it, return the form object back to caller. 3. If manager not able to find it, then create a new instance via reflection, then return back to caller. 4. Caller receive the form, do necessary action on the form (pass object, show, etc) You can mix it up a bit by having some form can only be opened as 1 instance, while other form can be opened multiple time, by adding customattribute to the form class or adding an "AllowMultiple" via subclassing Form. This is by no means the only way.
