Change form control property outside of form class

Question

How do I change control properties outside of the main form class?

I have a function that takes a form object as a parameter

public MyFunc(Form f)
{
    // I want to do something like this
    f.lblMylabel.txt = "foo"
}

How do I reference the forms controls and change property values?

This should work (apart from the obvious syntax errors), Is your label set as private? It would be much better to make a method on your form to do this also — Sayse, Aug 26 '15 at 13:16

If I create control by dragging it onto form in designer, where do I set the accessibility to public? — Guerrilla, Aug 26 '15 at 13:51

When you open a form in your mdi parent form, set that form object public and then get it by the reference of mdi parent class.
