I am creating a new UI and I want to use the camera capturing event in the form1 on form2(in short, i am trying to transfer data from pictureBox1 of Form1 to pictureBox1 of Form2.) How can i achieve that?

Answer 1

1. In form 2, implement a public method to accept an image and display in the picture box
2. In form 1, in the PAINT event of the picture box, call the above method of Form 2

Sample code

Form 1

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    //Object of Form 2 in Form 1
    Form2 oFrm2 = new Form2();
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //Load an image in the picture box
        pictureBox1.Load(@"E:\Temp\SmartRetire.jpeg");
    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //Consume the PAINT event of the picture box to notify a change in image
        pictureBox1.Paint += PictureBox1_Paint;
        //Show a blank form2
        oFrm2.Show();
    }

    //Raised when the picture box image is changed
    private void PictureBox1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
    {
        //Show the image in form 2
        oFrm2.ShowImage(pictureBox1.Image);
    }
}

Form 2

public partial class Form2 : Form
{
    public Form2()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    //Public method called from Form1 when the image is changed in picture box (in form1)
    public void ShowImage(Image oImage)
    {
        //Display the picture in form2
        pictureBox1.Image = oImage;
    }

}
