How to draw a rectangle on a form picturebox from another form[Updated]

Hey everyone.

I have a quesiton.

I have 2 forms.

form = form1
form = form2

When pressing a button in form1, form2 shows up. What I want is pressing a button in form2 draws a rectangle on to form1 picturebox.

I Wrote an event handler function for button clicked in Form2 to be handled in Form1, but in handler function I can't draw anything in form1's picturebox.

How can I achieve it?

My best regards...

Version 2:

Ok. The real thing I want to do is this.
I'm trying to draw a map which is written from a text box.
In map there'are lines, forbidden areas, boxes and such things.
I can read the map succesfully and draw the map from a button which is in form1.
What I want to do is, draw the map from another form(form2) by clickling a button on form2.

The Brief codework:

This is the form2 calling in form1:

private void tlstrpbtnAkil_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 objform = new Form2();
objform.Activate();
objform.Visible = true;

objform.btnOrtamYukle.Click += new EventHandler(objButton_Click);
}

Here the codes under the form2:

public Form1 _form1;
public Button f2Button { get; set; }

public struct Ortam
{
      public int OrtamKB;
      public string OrtamAdi;
      public string OrtamHaritasi;
      public string HucreDosyasi;
}

public Ortamlar(Form1 form1)
{
     this._form1 = form1;
}

private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
           // set the public property when Form2 is created
           f2Button = this.btnOrtamYukle;
           // assign a click handler
           f2Button.Click += new EventHandler(f2Button_Click);
}

private void f2Button_Click_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
          // here is where the handling is done
            _form1 = new Form1();

            Ortam ortam = new Ortam();

            int count = dataGridView1.SelectedRows[0].Index;

            ortam.OrtamKB = Convert.ToInt32(ortamTbl.Rows[count]["OrtamKB"]);
            ortam.OrtamAdi = ortamTbl.Rows[count]["OrtamAdi"].ToString();
            ortam.OrtamHaritasi = ortamTbl.Rows[count]["OrtamHaritasi"].ToString();
            ortam.HucreDosyasi = ortamTbl.Rows[count]["HucreDosyasi"].ToString();

            ORTAMHaritasi = ortam.OrtamHaritasi;
            _form1.ORTAMHARITASI = ortam.OrtamHaritasi;

            //_form1.KontrolleriAc();

            _form1.p_box_map.Width = 1000;
            _form1.p_box_map.Height = 600;

            _form1.bmp = new Bitmap(_form1.p_box_map.Width, _form1.p_box_map.Height);

            ImOrtamCizdirVeritabani ortamcizdir = new ImOrtamCizdirVeritabani(_form1.p_box_map, _form1.bmp, _form1.ZoomKontrolCarpan,_form1.panel1);
            

            _form1.bmp.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.Rotate180FlipX);

            _form1.bmp2 = _form1.bmp; // Boş Form.

            _form1.lbxKucultmeOranlari.Items.Add("scale_factor_x :" + ortamcizdir.ScaleFactorY);
            _form1.lbxKucultmeOranlari.Items.Add("scale_factor_y :" + ortamcizdir.ScaleFactorX);
            _form1.lbxKucultmeOranlari.Items.Add(ortamcizdir.ScaleFactor);
}

Map Drawing part:

class ImOrtamCizdirVeritabani : ImOrtamOkuVeritabanı
    {
        public static Image genelBmpNesnesi;

        public Graphics g;
        Pen Kalem = new Pen(Brushes.Blue, 5);

        // Default Constructer
        public ImOrtamCizdirVeritabani()
        {

        }

        public ImOrtamCizdirVeritabani(PictureBox picturebox1, Image bmp, int ZoomKontrolCarpan, Panel panel1)
        {
            g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);

            for (int z = 0; z < base.ForbiddenAreaNumber; z++)
            {
                Rectangle rect = new Rectangle((base.ForbiddenArea[z].x1 / (int)(base.ScaleFactor))
                    , (base.ForbiddenArea[z].y1 /
                    (int)base.ScaleFactor),
                    ((base.ForbiddenArea[z].x2 / (int)base.ScaleFactor) - (base.ForbiddenArea[z].x1 /
                    (int)base.ScaleFactor)),
                    ((base.ForbiddenArea[z].y2 / (int)base.ScaleFactor) -
                    base.ForbiddenArea[z].y1 / (int)base.ScaleFactor));

                g.DrawRectangle(Kalem, rect);
                g.FillRectangle(Brushes.Blue, rect);
            }

            for (int z = 0; z < base.LineNumber; z++)
            {
                g.DrawLine(Kalem, (base.Lines[z].x1 / (int)base.ScaleFactor) * ZoomKontrolCarpan,
                    (base.Lines[z].y1 / (int)base.ScaleFactor) * ZoomKontrolCarpan,
                    (base.Lines[z].x2 / (int)base.ScaleFactor) * ZoomKontrolCarpan,
                    (base.Lines[z].y2 / (int)base.ScaleFactor) * ZoomKontrolCarpan);
            }

            panel1.AutoScrollPosition = new Point(bmp.Height, bmp.Width);
            picturebox1.Image = bmp;
            genelBmpNesnesi = bmp;
        }
    }

There is no need for ImOrtamOkuVeritabanı, it does its job well..

So, How can I trigger from form 2 to form1 picturebox to draw my map.

My best regards...
