The issue you described sounds like a Dialog for me.
So you should create your own custom Dialog and give it all data which is needed.
After editing you come back from the Dialog with a DialogResult which tells your calling Form what should be done with the data ...

Form 1

on Button Click Event

C#
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           Form2 abc = new Form2(Convert.ToInt16(comboBox1.SelectedValue));
           abc.Show();
       }


Form 2

Create new Constructor For Same name of Form

C#
public Form2()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
        public Form2(int ab)
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            textBox1.Text = ab.ToString();
        }

OriginalGriff has written a series of Tips on how to pass information between forms. The first one is here Transferring information between two forms, Part 1: Parent to Child[^] and there are links to the others within that article.

When getting integer values from strings use int.Parse or int.TryParse instead of Convert.ToInt16. See Dotnetperls examples[^] The TryParse methods will not raise an exception, unlike Convert.
