Hi there,
just a short question. How can I get access to a open form (is also
the MDI parent)? <FORMNAME>.<FUNCTION> does not work but I have to
call a method in the mainForm of the Application to start a
taskbar-Notification e.g.

Thanks for an short answer!

'this.MdiParent' retrieves the parent of an MDI child form.

You will have to cast it to the type of the parent form. For example, if
your main form's class is called frmMain, you might write:

frmMain frm = (frmMain) this.MdiParent;
frm.Text = "this will change the caption";
