You show only code for the MainForm here. You should edit this to show the code where the two other Forms are created, then move this code into your original question, and properly format it with CodeProject's editor.

in the code it opens a form called mainform and when i clicked on f.membersToolStripMenuItem1 i want it disable some buttons on members form

What Form creates the instance of FormC: FormA, or FormB ?

"i want to disable a button on form c when form b is clicked"

Do you mean when the user clicks anywhere on FormB's area, or do you mean when the user clicks on some specific Control on FormB ?

when the user click on a button on form b, it should open form c but disable some buttons

What Form creates the instance of FormC ?

form b

Now we're getting somewhere :) The key question is: does Form A ever have to manipulate, or communicate, directly with Form C, or is only Form B going to do that ?

Form a could expose a (read-only) property stating if button on form c should be disabled or not.
