I want to read date from contols of first Form (Form1) being in other (eg:
DialogOptions).
I know how to refer to others froms being in Main, but I can't inversely.

Eg:
in Form1 I have textBox1 control.
from form DialogOptions i want change date in textBox1 (Form1)

How to do it?

You can declare a member variable of type TextBox* in the second form and
assign that variable to the first form's textbox member when you create the
second form. Then you can use the TextBox's Text property to change the
text.

It was clever a little bit.

Thanks Michiel
