docking windows toolwindows

I have a user control in a docking window. on the UC I have a button. I would like to set the button visible from another form

right now, this works to show the docked window.

objSwitchboard.dlmSwitchboard.ToolWindows(0).State = ToolWindowState.Docked

but I don’t know how to refer to a control on the toolwindow.

Here is how I build it at the beginning on the switchboard form.

Me.dlmSwitchboard.ToolWindows.Add(New ucSpending)
Me.dlmSwitchboard.ToolWindows(0).DockTo(DockTargetHost.DockHost, DockPosition.Right)
Me.dlmSwitchboard.ToolWindows(0).State = ToolWindowState.AutoHide
Me.dlmSwitchboard.AllowFloating = False
Me.dlmSwitchboard.AllowHide = False

I figured this out.

objSwitchboard.dlmSwitchboard.ToolWindows(0).Controls(1).Controls(0).Visible = False

Is this the best method available?

That’s the way to go. However, you can also use the names of the controls, instead of the index.

e.g.:
this.dockLayoutManager1.ToolWindows[ “toolWindowKey” ].Controls[ “textBox1” ].Text = “new text”;
