Thanks for answer, but as i mentioned in my question, i am having one class which is not linked to Child or Parent form.

Inside that class, i want to access some functions of MDIChild, which are created by me, so i am unable to get object of currently Active MDIChild.

Hoping to get answer for this scenario...

Thank U
