That's not a good approach (I mean "best practices" state that all fields should be static).
You have two approaches:
1. Create public property in form1 that exposes your checkbox as readonly:
public CheckBox CheckboxPublicName
{
get
{
return this.timeToolStripMenuItem;
}
}
And in form2 you can do form1.CheckboxPublicName.Checked = true;
2. This one is (I think) better. You expose property, that provides access to "checked status" of the checkbox
public bool SomeName
{
get
{
return this.timeToolStripMenuItem.Checked;
}
set
{
this.timeToolStripMenuItem.Checked = value;
}
}
And you only have to set this property to true/false.

ok but you forget, this needs to be done in
<br />
if (e.KeyData == Keys.Escape)<br />
{<br />
<br />
}
|
|
|
|
|
What is "e"? What event handler is your code from?

private void Time_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
if (e.KeyData == Keys.Escape)<br />
{<br />
this.Visible = false;<br />
Form1.timeToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false;<br />
}<br />
}

So, what is the problem with implementing solution I gave you before? You're saying I'm forgetting about part, where you check if escape was pressed. What does it have to do? You have your if inside of which you set checkbox checked status. Replace this with a call to the property I adviced to create and everything should be working.

Well I get this error

Form1.timeToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false;

OK
If you added CheckboxPublicName property from my previous post, you have to replace this line with Form1.CheckboxPublicName.Checked = false.
If you added SomeName property from my previous post, you have to replace this line with Form1.SomeName = false.
And also: I assume that Form1 you're using is instance of the form you want to change, not the type of the form. If it is, you have to get instance of the Form1 you want to modify.

I get this error on form1 on the bool
<br />

Form1 is a class name. You need the instance name of form one which likely does not exists since Form1 is the autogenerated form.

Can you write this up in code form please so it makes more sense
|

WHAT THE FUCK!
Do you really expect anyone to know what code is on line 130?
Do you really think "130" is a magic number that tells us "oh, you just forgot to garble the bargle"?
WHAT THE FUCK!

He asked what line it was on

You are still allowed - expected, even - to understand why someone asks a question, and how this information is needed, so that you can learn how such a problem is solved.
You do want to learn that, don't you?

in
public CheckBox CheckboxPublicName<br />
{<br />
get<br />
{<br />
return this.timeToolStripMenuItem;<br />
}<br />
}
Checkbox is an error and this is what i get
<br />

While the code snippet isn't clear at all, having one Form influence/use something that resides in another Form is a common need, and there are some perfect solutions, all object-oriented. The keywords static and public are not the key to a solution, Dave's tip is.

The short answer is: there isn't a single proper way that does involve a new Form1, since any new Form1 will be different (similar but not identical) to the one you really want.

Hi
I am developing a clinic management software and I want to ask what's the best way to save and read email templates in order to use as default formatted text in the email for appointment reminder
|

Plain-Text is the absolute gold standard for sending mass emails. If you can't make it look good in plain-text there is a good chance your recipients won't read it. The second best is to use HTML. If you choose html you can use XSLT.
