Hello, i'm working on a VB.NET application with WinForms.

I will create one custom form by pressing button in menu, with an axMediaPlayer on every form controlled by some button already existing in the MDI Form.

How can i get control of the property of the new form created?

What I have tried:

In menu button of MDI form i've this code:

VB

Dim myPlayer As New MediaPlayer
myPlayer.MdiParent = Me
myPlayer.Show()

This will create a new MediaPlayer into my MDI form.

For this MediaPlayer i want to control Play Pause and other option by pressing one button that already exist.

VB

thePlayer.Ctlcontrols.play() 'I need to control the new player created

How can i "link" click of already existing button to the NEW MediaPlayer form?
