Q:

c# how to mimic a button press from a different form

i am creating a replica of my current form:
    Form form2 = new Form1();
    form2.Show();

i need to be able to run events on form2 like the button_click and fill out some text in a textbox. how do i do this?

A:

Best way to edit the controls on a form is to create a method that exposes this feature (like an EditTextBox1(string) kind of method).
In general, when you want to manipulate a form from code (except for the form's code) and not the gui, it's wise to create a method for this (in the form class).
Regarding running events, it's unclear what you mean
