I'm reasonably new to c# programming and I have a issue which seems like it should be fairly easy to solve, however, I'm getting that 'cant see the wood for the tree's' feeling so hopefully someone can help me here...

I have a simple MDI application that has an 'outlook' style bar on one form and a web control (axWebControl) on another form. What I want to do is pass a URL to the web control when I click an icon on the outlook bar. Problem being that I'm not sure how to pass a variable to the instance the current axWebControl. Can anyone help?

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious and will kick myself when I hear the answer. :)

Can't you just assign the URL to a property of the web control? i.e. make your own property and then assign it to the current instance of the control.

Thanks for the response Jacob but I'm still having a problem. Here's a better example of where I'm going wrong. I have an MDI application with three forms:-

MDIMain.cs
Browser.cs - (Contains the axWebBrowser object)
ButtonsForm.cs

axWebBrowser is instanciated in the Browser.cs form. Browser.cs also includes this public function:-

public void redirectWeb(string sUrl)
{
try
{
    axWebBrowser1.Visible = true;
    axWebBrowser1.BringToFront();
    System.Object nullObject = 0;
    System.Object nullObjStr = "";
    Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor;
    axWebBrowser1.Focus();
    axWebBrowser1.Navigate(sUrl, ref nullObject, ref nullObjStr, ref nullObjStr, ref nullObjStr);
    Cursor.Current = Cursors.Default;
}
catch(Exception exc)
{
    MessageBox.Show(exc.Message);
}
}

When I press a button on the ButtonPanel.cs form I would like it to pass a new URL to the current instance of the axWebBrowser control but I'm not sure how to do this. I can get the application to create a new instance of the Browser.cs form each time I click a button but that is not what I want - I need to pass the URL to the [u]current</u> instance of the axWebBrowser.

I'm probably approaching this completely wrong but I need guidance.

Many thanks,

Phil

It is hard to know what you mean since the terms and concepts used in the description are confusing; e.g. you are talking about files, eventhough it is irrelevant (you probably mean classes). Moreover, axWebBrowser is not a class but an instance of some class, as far as I can see!

In my first post I missed the fact that it was a MDI application. I am not quite sure how to do it. Sorry.
