So, what I think would be a better solution is to make a function public on form2 so that when you check the checkbox on form1, you can just call to it instead of having to make a thread on form2 to constantly check form1, etc.

You should make the form2 var global on form1 so it'd look like this:



Then wherever you show form2 or whatever it is you're doing, you should do:



Now, getting down to whatever on Form2. On Form2, you have the stuff you want to do if the checkbox is checked, right? So put that in a function like so:



Now finally, on the checkbox_click event, put this code:

thank you very much! also i have another problem (i know i have been asking a lot of questions lately but google just isnt as helpful as i thought it would be) probably because i dont know how to word this:

i have 2 textbox's:

textbox1 and textbox2

now i want to set the size of a button (button1) when i click button 2, after entering the x and y coordinates in textbox1 and textbox2.

so here is what i have tried

button1.location = (textbox1.text, textbox2.text); //this gave me an error

then i tried several more things like:

button1.location.x = (textbox1.text);
button1.location.y = (textbox2.text);
//error

button1.location = new point (textbox1.text, textbox2.text)

//error

when i try the one above ^^^ it tells me to enter int values, so how could i convert the textbox1.text int an int value?

i have tried:

int textbox1;
ect, ect

so to sum it all up i want to change the size of button1 by tying in the x (textbox1) and y(textbox2) coordinates and then clicking on button2. to change it.


Sorry if it doesnt really make sense this is the best i can explain it!


Thank You

Convert.Toint32(Textbox1.Text);

here is what i did does it look right?

button1.Location = new Point (Convert.ToInt32(xSetInput.Text,(Convert.ToInt32(ySetInput.Text))));

it doesnt give me any errors so i will try it.

EDIT: i got an error saying invalid base so i will try it like so:

button1.Location = new Point (Convert.ToInt32(xSetInput.Text));
button1.Location = new Point(Convert.ToInt32(ySetInput.Text));

Don't worry about asking questions, that's what we're here for

It looks like you forgot an ending parenthesis:

yup that made it work perfectly. and i really feel stupid for asking like 10 questions in a week. lol. its just hard to explain all that in 1 sentence so i could google search it. but anyway thanks a lot CLK and I_Rage_Hard! +rep for the both of you!
