Accessing a Property in An Owner Form

[Tony_Hedge]

I have a small program with 2 forms: F_Main, the Main form, and F_Edit, a dialogbox.

F_Main displays F_Edit in Modal mode as follows:

new F_Edit().ShowDialog( this );

F_Main has a Public Property: X

In F_Edit I can access F_Main's property X as follows:

F_Main Main = (F_Main)this.Owner;
Main.X= 1;
