MDI Application

[Guest]

Could someone please explain to me like I'm a 14 year old (I am) how to keep track of each instance of an MDI child form, so that I can access the controls contained in each child form from the parent. Thank You! It will be greatly appreciated.

Sure, use the Form.MdiChildren property returns an array of Forms. To access
the controls of the child forms, you'll need to ensure that the access
modifier on the controls you want the parent form to modify is public. Or
you could expose the controls as public properties.
