i have an mdi parent form and two child forms.

on button click from form1, form 2 should be opened and on a radiobutton selection, i need to retrieve that radio button text to my first form text box.

i send the data and displayed it on form1 using delegates

but i used a new object of the form 1, what i want.... is to retrieve data to the already opened form1 , where other text boxes are already filled....

how can i solve this

my code in form 1 is:

C#

delegate void MyDelegate(string str);
public void PassingParameters(string item)
        {
            if (txtScheme.InvokeRequired)
            {
                MyDelegate d = new MyDelegate(PassingParameters);
                txtScheme.Invoke(d, new object[] { item });
            }
            else
            txtScheme.Text = item;
        }

and in form 2 event is :

C#

string  Scheme = rb.Text;
admission ad= new admission();
ad.PassingParameters(Scheme);
ad.MdiParent = this.ParentForm;
ad.Show();
this.Close();

This is the popular question about form collaboration. The most robust solution is implementation of an appropriate interface in form class and passing the interface reference instead of reference to a "whole instance" of a Form. Please see my past solution for more detail: How to copy all the items between listboxes in two forms[^].

Please also see other solutions in this discussion. If the application is simple enough, the solution could be as simple as declaring of some internal property in one form and passing a reference to the instance of one form to the instance of another form. For more complex projects, such violation of strictly encapsulated style and loose coupling could add up the the accidental complexity of the code and invite mistakes, so the well-encapsulated solution would be preferable.

Also, better don't use MDI. Who needs MDI, ever? Why torturing yourself and scaring off your users?
Do yourself a great favor: do not use MDI at all. You can do much easier to implement design without it, with much better quality. MDI is highly discouraged even by Microsoft, in fact, Microsoft dropped it out of WPF and will hardly support it. More importantly, you will scare off all your users if you use MDI. Just don't. I can explain what to do instead. Please see:
