Accessing windows form controls in static metod

Question

There is any way to access windows form controls in static method?

Vulpes · Answer

Suppose you want to access textBox1 which has been placed directly on Form1. Then you can access it from a static method on the same Form or otherwise as follows: Form1 f1 = Application.OpenForms[Form1] as Form1; if (f1 ! = null) { TextBox tb = f1.Controls[textBox1] as TextBox; string s = (tb != null) ? tb.Text : ; // do something with 's' }
