I have 2 forms, in the sub form is a button, when it is clicked some
code on the main form has to be executed.

I tried it with:

MIDL

rowpopup^ popup = gcnew rowpopup();
popup->button_savetoform->Click += gcnew EventHandler(this, &Main::add_new_item);

It will compile, but when I click the button the sub add_new_item is not being entered.

As you're using managed C++, use delegates to hook up this event before hand, from your main form.
