Question about propertyEditor

[AWei]

Can I use propertyEditor to change the property of a control on another form?

For example, there is a waveformgraph on form1 and a propertyEditor on form2. Can I change the property of waveformgraph through propertyEditor?

Thank you!

Yes, as long as you have a reference to the waveformgraph in form1 from form2. You can do something like:

propertyEditor.Source = new PropertyEditorSource(form1.waveformgraph, "Caption");

    I find it difficult to get a reference of a control on another form. Can you give me an example?

    Thank you!

You will need to create a property on your other form in order to access the control. For example, in Form1 class you will need to declare something like this:

public class Form1
{
...

    public WaveformGraph WaveformGraph
    {
       get
       {
          return waveformGraph;
       }
    }
}

Now, in Form2, if you have reference to a Form1 object called form1, then you can write:

this.propertyEditor.Source = new PropertyEditorSource(form1.WaveformGraph, "Caption");
