Call a button on a C# form through usercontrol

Question

I\'ve created a user control with some buttons. When you click a button in the UserControl the BackColor of the button changes:

 private void button1(object send         


        

Answer 1

You can get a reference to the parent form using this

Form parentFrm = (this.Parent as Form);

You can then access controls on the parent Form, by either making the public or finding the control by its name

 Button aButton = (Button)parentFrm.Controls["btnName"];
 if (aButton != null)
     aButton.Enabled = true;
