I'm wondering how do i get the Login form to call methods from the initial (parent) form?

if (loginForm == nullptr) {
   loginForm = gcnew Login(this);
   loginForm->Show();
} else {
   loginForm->Activate();
}

// forward declaration!
// required to avoid circular dependencies
ref class ParentForm;

ref class LoginForm : public Form
{
private:
    ParentForm^ parentForm = nullptr; // use this object to access parent form's members.
public:
    LoginForm(ParentForm^ p)
         : parentForm(p)

    }
}

Also I know this method works because plotting works fine everytime as long as updateNoise is not called before drawPlot.

well in the debugger the first line copies a value correctly, but the function returns when it executes the second line.

In the code you have given, updateNoise is not called before drawPlot.

That is weird. Do you mean it returns when executing the line temp = global->_noise_value[1];? What is the type of _noise_value? Is that a managed array? Have you inspected the values in this array? Is updateNoise executed on the main thread?

You could however install a trial of a full version of Visual Studio 2008 [^] and Spy++ will be available in the installation.
