Access a object created from within a method

Jul 23 2008 12:36 PM

Hey all,

Just a quick one for you.

How can i create an instance of a form from within a method? I know in the code below i can put the Form2 bob = new Form2(); within the public partial class Form1 : Form block it will work. But i dont want to create the instance of Form2 untill the button is clicked.

I thought i might be able to create a makeform() method then create the form in there. But i couldnt get it to work.


See code below:


using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Form2 bob = new Form2();

bob.textBox1.text = "Hello";

}

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

button1_Click.bob.textBox1.text = "Hello Again"; // I know this will not work.

}

 

 

}

}

 

Thanks in advance,

James
