(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright so pretty much I have 2 forms.

In form1 i have a richTextBox

and in form2 i have a button that will create & open up a .txt

the problem is that the button won't load the file on form1.

I tried adding a richtextbox to form2 and it loaded normally but i want it to load on form1.

Button Code On FORM 2

    

string pathUser69 = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);

string pathCombiner = Path.Combine(pathUser69 + @"\text editor\projects\");

string pathCompile = Path.Combine(pathCombiner + textEdit1.Text);

string path = pathCompile + @"\text.txt";

Directory.CreateDirectory(pathCombiner + textEdit1.Text);

if (!File.Exists(path))

{

File.Create(path).Dispose();

private Form1 f1 = new Form1();

f1.richTextBox1.LoadFile(path, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);

}

else if (File.Exists(path))

{

XtraMessageBox.Show("There is already a file with that name", title);

}

this is the reason-

    Private Form1 f1 = new Form1(); 

youre basically setting a new instance of form1, so the textbox will always return the default value (blank), do this-

    

            Form1 f1 = new Form1();



            f1 = (Form1)Application.OpenForms["Form1"];

so this basically creates a new instance of form1, then fills it with the original forms content.

Alright so it works but this happens:
You must login or register to view this content.

i cant really understand whats happening i that gif, could you describe whats happening please :p

So pretty much the text shows up for 1 second then it disappears

hmm, could you upload a source / example project with what youre trying to do? finding it hard to understand what youre doing :p

I'll pm you the download link for the source bc i dont want anyone grabbing it.

    

Form1 f2 = new Form1();

f2 = (Form1)Application.OpenForms["Form1"];

f2.richTextBox1.LoadFile(path, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);
