Why? Do you think, you have no access to the form1,
or haven't you found the Refresh() method of the form?

All the best,

Martin

Save your word document as webpage, create a form and place a webbrowser control.
Whenever user clicks Help button dispaly the form with webbrowser navigating to your Help document page.

he hi..

Do one thing just create a .chm file.

you have to use "windows HTML help workshop" for that.

Just search on net u will get help.

For creating .chm it will take time but it will be easier next time.

Thanks

You can create word document as you like, and can navigate the document using webbrowser control.

You can use HypherLinks for making the help documents as like in BookMarks.

- Make public function in Form1

- Call it from Form2

eg:
objForm1.PublicButtonClick();

Hello Michael,

Thanks for your help.

Just pass "null"

Form2

Form1 obj = new Form1();<br />
obj.button5_Click(null, null);<br />

Form1

public void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
        MessageBox.Show("Who did this??? ");<br />
}

The good design practice is to create a property to the button on Form1 and use PerformClick () function.
Eg.
On Form1

public Button Button1<br />
        {<br />
            get<br />
            {<br />
                return button1;<br />
            }<br />
        }<br />

on form2

Form1 obj = new Form1();<br />
obj.Button1.PerformClick ();

I think it would be even better practice to, not make the button public.
Just add a public method to Form1, which calls the PerformClick of the write button!
