c# - How do I call a method that only accepts a parameter that is in another form? -


i have form1 (that runs program) , form2 (that form user input). form2 has function clears user input (textboxes, checkboxes, combo boxes, clears them).

the function looks this:

public void cleartheform(control groupofcontrols) {     foreach (control c in groupofcontrols.controls)     {         if (c textbox)         {             ((textbox)c).clear();         }          if (c.haschildren)         {             cleartheform(c);         }          if (c checkbox)         {             ((checkbox)c).checked = false;         }          label3.text = "";         combobox1.selectedindex = -1;         combobox2.selectedindex = -1;     } } 

this works on own. on main form, need call function, should this:

i make instance of form2 call inputform , then:

private void addrecord_click(object sender, eventargs e) {     inputform.showdialog();      if(inputform.addedrecord == true)     {         inputform.addrecord();         inputform.cleartheform(what put in here??);     }                    } 

so once record has been added, input form clears , ready record added.

the question above, put in there? how call groupofcontrols in inputform.cleartheform() located in form2 form1?? tried make public control groupofcontrols on top of form2 , leave form1 inputform.cleartheform(control groupofcontorls), saids don't have object reference. if leave blank saids inputform.cleartheform(); not take 0 arguement.

well, if wanted clear all controls in inputform write version of cleartheform() without parameter, , call version with parameter it, so:

public void cleartheform() {     cleartheform(this); // passes controls in form. } 

or can call original cleartheform(control) passing reference inputform argument: inputform.cleartheform(inputform).

if want clear controls, i'd write separate parameterless method clarity.

however, useful if want clear controls in inputform.
