multi windows question

[jerrylinkinpark]

Hallo, I have a qestion regarding multi windows programming. My target is to have a main form, showing different steps.



And, when I click step1 button, form2 shows. (Now the step 2 button is disabled)



After having some inputs, when click a button in Form2, I would like to have a function close the form2 and enable the step2 button in Form1. But now it is not possible. I think the problem is that C++ cannot find the the form1 in the header file of form2?

//Form2.h
