when i use the fc.Text command it uses "hello" in the title bar of the new child window.
how do i get that value into the body of the child window?
private void openToolStripMenuItem_Clic
{
OpenFileDialog ofdOpenFile = new OpenFileDialog();
ofdOpenFile.Title = "Select a File To Open";
ofdOpenFile.FileName = "";
ofdOpenFile.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*";
if (ofdOpenFile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
RichTextBox rtb = GetRichTextBox();
if (rtb == null)
{
FormChild fc = new FormChild();
fc.MdiParent = this;
fc.Show();
string str = "hello";
fc.Text = str;
//str = fc.Text;
Application.DoEvents();
}
if (rtb != null)
{
rtb.LoadFile(ofdOpenFile.F
}
}
}

this was solved like this.
in the child form add an argument for passed filename and load into rechtextbox:
public FormChild(string fileName)
{
InitializeComponent();
richTextBox1.LoadFile(file
}
in the parent form pass the name:
FormChild fc = new FormChild(ofdOpenFile.File
fc.MdiParent = this;
fc.Show();
in the child form add an argument for passed filename and load into rechtextbox:
public FormChild(string fileName)
{
InitializeComponent();
richTextBox1.LoadFile(file
}
in the parent form pass the name:
FormChild fc = new FormChild(ofdOpenFile.File
fc.MdiParent = this;
fc.Show();

i cant even get the parent window to show files contents.
how do i get the string text contents into the parent window?
at least i can start here...
see this code:
private void openToolStripMenuItem_Clic
{
OpenFileDialog ofdOpenFile = new OpenFileDialog();
ofdOpenFile.Title = "Select a File To Open";
ofdOpenFile.FileName = "";
ofdOpenFile.Filter = "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*";
if (ofdOpenFile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
string file = ofdOpenFile.FileName;
string text = File.ReadAllText(file);
//RichTextBox rtb = GetRichTextBox();
FormChild fc = new FormChild();
fc.MdiParent = this;
fc.Show();
Application.DoEvents();
}
}
