But then another problem comes out. The instance declared in Form Child.cpp is not the same instance as the previous FormMain

So, what is the correct way to solve this problem?

        AddTextChangeCallback(textBox1->Text ); // Safe to call it now

Because you are instantiating a new instance in the child form. You need to pass the main form's instance to child form (through constructor injection or some setter methods).

constructor injection?

Form2(Form1^ form1) // First form's object is injected through constructor
{
    // keep the form1 object for future use
}

By constructor injection, I meant to pass the first form's object to second form via constructor. Something like

Form2(Form1^ form1) // First form's object is injected through constructor
{
    // keep the form1 object for future use
}

But Form1 already include Form2.h (in my case Form1 act as a "parent" form, and instantiate Form2). So I think I can't declare Form2 (Form1^ form1) and keep the form1 object, like you have mentioned above

public ref class PForm : public System::Windows::Forms::Form{
public:
    void UpdateText(String^ str) // used to update the text box text. This will be called from CForm.
    {
	textBox1->Text = str;
    }

    // your rest of code
};

ref class PForm; // forward declaring PForm

public ref class CForm : public System::Windows::Forms::Form{
public:
    CForm(PForm^ pf) // injecting dependency through constructor
    {
	InitializeComponent();
	pForm = pf;
    }

private: 
    System::Void textBox1_TextChanged(System::Object^, System::EventArgs^);
    PForm^ pForm; // Parent form's object used to update the control
};

#include "CForm.h"
#include "PForm.h"

System::Void CForm::textBox1_TextChanged(System::Object ^sender, System::EventArgs ^e){
	if(pForm != nullptr)
		pForm->UpdateText(textBox1->Text);
}

CForm^ cForm = gcnew CForm(this);
cForm->Show();

private: System::Void northT_Click(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) 
		 {
			 //Variables
			 double nTotalIn = 0.0;
			 double nTotalFi = 0.0;
			 double n1 = 0.0;
			 double n2 = 0.0;
			 double n3 = 0.0;

			 do
			 {
				 nTotalIn = Convert::ToDouble(northT->Text);
				 n1 = Convert::ToDouble(north1->Text);
				 n2 = Convert::ToDouble(north2->Text);
				 n3 = Convert::ToDouble(north3->Text);
				 nTotalFi = n1 + n2 + n3;
				 northT->Text = nTotalFi.ToString();
			 } while(nTotalFi != nTotalIn);
		 }

System::Int64 limit1 = 100;
System::Int64 limit2 = 25;
System::Int64 diff = limit1 - limit2;

System::Int64^ limit1 = gcnew System::Int64(100);
System::Int64^ limit2 = gcnew System::Int64(25);
System::Int64^ diff = gcnew System::Int64(*limit1 - *limit2);
