I'm using a container (mdi parent) to open up a main menu. The main menu allows the user to connect to a database and open other programs. I'm trying to display what database you are connected to on the container (parent form) but i'm having issues passing the string from main menu to the container. When the user clicks the connect button, I somehow need the container to have an event listener to listen for a button click from the child form. When the connect button is clicked on the child form, it will pass the variable to the parent. How would I go about doing this?
