Make a panel visible on Form1 by clicking a button on Form2

Question

I have Form1 with a hidden panel. When I click a button on Form1, Form2 shows up. When I click on the show panel button on Form2, I want the panel on Form1 to immediately be visible. How would I do that?

Another way to do it from Form2 (no changes needed to Form1): private void btnShowPanel_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { Form1 f1 = (Form1)Application.OpenForms[Form1]; Panel p = (Panel)f1.Controls[panel1]; p.Visible = true; }

Hi john try this If form1 is already hidden then you can make form1 visible when you click on button in form2; button_click() //form2 button event { form1.visible=true; } Hope this helps you
