Hello everyone

How can I retrieve text from datagridView cell (of Form2) and displayit in the button (of Form1)?

Basically I have two forms on my project (Form1 & Form2).
-In Form1 I have two buttons (Starter & Main). Both these buttons on click event, they call database sql-query and genereate into form the records as Buttons.
-In Form2 I have a button (Starter). Also this button on click event calls database sql-query and generates records in DatagridView. DataGridView has four columns:

Now in Form2 when I double_click inside the cell under the Quantity In Stock column, a dialog-box pops up and allows me to enter the number in to that particular cell. Lets say Row-1: like so...

FoodName   FoodType   Quantity In Stock   Status.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Soup       Starter    10                  Allways On Stock

So based on this, how can I take the value of that cell = 10 and dispalyit on the bottom-right corner of the Button (in this case button Soup). This is what the Soup Button should look like (in Form1):

##############
#   Soup     #
#         10 #
##############

Here is the code of datagridview1_cellclick event (in Form2)...

private void dataGridView1_CellClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.ColumnIndex == 2)
   {
      // Value is given here in case the cell is empty
      string cellContent = "0";
      if (this.dataGridView1[e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex].Value != null)
      {
         cellContent = this.dataGridView1[e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex].Value.ToString();
      }
      using (InputBox ib = new InputBox("Enter new stock amount:", this.dataGridView1[0, e.RowIndex].Value.ToString(), cellContent))
      {
         if (ib.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
         {
          this.dataGridView1[e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex].Value = ib.Result;
          cellContent = ib.Result;
         }
      }
   }
}

This is the code of InputBox dialog Form to enter quantity in to the Cell of DataGridView...

public partial class InputBox : Form
{
  public InputBox(string text, string caption, string defaultValue)
  {
    InitializeComponent();
    this.Text = caption;
    Size size;
 
    using (Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics())
    {
      Rectangle screen = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea;
      SizeF sizeF = g.MeasureString(text, lblPrompt.Font, screen.Width - 20);
      size = sizeF.ToSize();
      size.Width += 4;
    }
 
    if (size.Width < 310)
    {
      size.Width = 310;
    }
 
    Size clientSize = this.ClientSize;
    clientSize.Width += size.Width - lblPrompt.Width;
    clientSize.Height += size.Height - lblPrompt.Height;
    this.ClientSize = clientSize;
    lblPrompt.Text = text;
    txtResult.Text = defaultValue;
    this.DialogResult = DialogResult.Cancel;
  }
 
  void CancelButtonClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
    result = null;
    this.Close();
  }
 
  void AcceptButtonClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
    this.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
    result = txtResult.Text;
    this.Close();
  }
 
  string result;
 
  public string Result
  {
    get { return result; }
  }
 
  private void btnSeven_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Text += btnSeven.Text + "7";
  }
 
  private void btnTwo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Text += btnTwo.Text + "2";
  }
 
  private void btnOne_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Text += btnOne.Text + "1";
  }
 
  private void btnSix_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Text += btnSix.Text + "6";
  }
 
  private void btnFive_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Text += btnFive.Text + "5";
  }
 
  private void btnFour_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Text += btnFour.Text + "4";
  }
 
  private void btnNine_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Text += btnNine.Text + "9";
  }
 
  private void btnEight_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Text += btnEight.Text + "8";
  }
 
  private void btnThree_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Text += btnThree.Text + "3";
  }
 
  private void btnZero_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Text += btnZero.Text + "0";
  }
 
  private void btnClear_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    txtResult.Clear();
    txtResult.Focus();
  }
}

This is the code how to create buttons on Form1, and then take the database records and asign values to these buttons...

private void FoodAddButtons(DataTable table)
{
  int xpos = 5;
  int ypos = 5;
  int space = 2;
  VistaButtonTest.VistaButton newButton = null;
  DtposMenuBS.Sort = "FoodPrice";
  try
  {
    foreach (DataRowView dr in DtposMenuBS.List)
    {
      newButton = new VistaButtonTest.VistaButton();
      newButton.ButtonText = dr["FoodName"].ToString();
      newButton.AutoEllipsis = true;
      newButton.Width = 152;
      newButton.Height = 70;
      newButton.CornerRadius = 4;
      newButton.Font = new System.Drawing.Font("Arial Narrow", 15.00F, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Bold, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, ((byte)(0)));
      newButton.BaseColor = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(((int)(((byte)(128)))), ((int)(((byte)(128)))), ((int)(((byte)(255)))));
      newButton.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black;
      newButton.HighlightColor = System.Drawing.Color.DarkGray;
      newButton.GlowColor = System.Drawing.Color.DimGray;
      if (xpos + newButton.Width > this.FoodMenuPanel.ClientSize.Width)
      {
        ypos += newButton.Height + space;
        xpos = 5;
      }
      newButton.Location = new Point(xpos, ypos);
      xpos += newButton.Width + space;
      newButton.Click += ItemSelection1;
      this.FoodMenuPanel.Controls.Add(newButton);
    }
  }
  finally
  {
    DtposMenuBS.Sort = "";
  }
}

Could someone help me please and solve this problem....

Thanks in advance...

Kind regards
