Referencing the main Form from another class

do u wanna do it in C# or VC++?
cuz if ur using .net that's piece of cake... using c++ is
not as easy as .net but it is easy too...

in .net u don't need to get a handle. Just remember that
everything in .net is an object (class). first of all, in
order to add controls u need to "see" the class ur gonna
add controls from... So make ur controls protected (in
case ur main form is inherited from the class or make it
public). Then add the control like this...


// Namespace where the control u wanna resides
using MyNamespace;

// First create the object as a member of the class

private MyControl m_control = new MyControl();

// Set m_control's properties

// Add it to the Form's Controls collection
this.Controls.Add(m_control);

That's it... Hope this might help u

I want to add controls to the main form from another

class. How do i do

this i know i need to get a handle to the parent i can

do this if i have

a handle to it by passsing ina control for example. But

i am only

working with graphics objects so i need to find a handle

the parent

another way.How?
