Why do I cannot create a new Tab from another Form?

I want to call the NewTab() function from another form. But it doesn't work. I'm new to C# and Programming and need help.
Form1:

chrome.Parent = tabControl.SelectedTab;
chrome.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
chrome.AddressChanged += Chrome_AddressChanged;
chrome.TitleChanged += Chrome_TitleChanged;

I try to make a Webbrowser with special features. I use CefSharp for this. Sorry for the ugly Code I'm new to C# and Programming. Got most of this from a Youtube tutorial. I'm trying to make another window that you can open with a menustrip that lets you open multiple tabs at once. But for now, I don't even get one new Tab opened. It could be nice if you help me with this.

You create a new instance of Form1 but you don't show it.
Try this:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form1 form = new Form1();
form.NewTab("https://google.com");
form.Show();
}

Passing data between form1 and form2 in C# [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How do you pass an object from form1 to form2 and back to form1?
(4 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I'm supposed to make a math practice program for kids. They should be able to choose 1 operation and the amount of digits (1, 2 or 3 digit) the numbers will have. It then has to out put 10 random questions according to the selection made by the kid, then once they have completed the quiz, it should display their results and which questions they got wrong.
I have two selections being made on form1, operations and # of digits, which are assigned numbers (1. (*) 2. (/) 3. (+) 4. (-)). All i need to do is communicate the operation number and # of digits to form2, where the questions will be generated and displayed.
Here's my code for form1 so far:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace FinalProject
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public static int operation = 0;
public static int digits = 0;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
// this is to make sure only one box is checked for both selections. Starts here
private void label1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void MulCB_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if ( MulCB.Checked == true)
{
operation = 1;
DivCB.Checked = false;
AddCB.Checked = false;
SubCB.Checked = false;
}
}
private void DivCB_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (DivCB.Checked == true)
{
operation = 2;
MulCB.Checked = false;
AddCB.Checked = false;
SubCB.Checked = false;
}
}
private void AddCB_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (AddCB.Checked == true)
{
operation = 3;
DivCB.Checked = false;
SubCB.Checked = false;
MulCB.Checked = false;
}
}
private void SubCB_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (SubCB.Checked == true)
{
operation = 4;
DivCB.Checked = false;
AddCB.Checked = false;
MulCB.Checked = false;
}
}
private void oneDCB_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(oneDCB.Checked == true)
{
digits = 1;
twoDCB.Checked = false;
threeDCB.Checked = false;
}
}
private void twoDCB_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if ( twoDCB.Checked == true)
{
digits = 2;
oneDCB.Checked = false;
threeDCB.Checked = false;
}
}
private void threeDCB_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (threeDCB.Checked == true)
{
digits = 3;
oneDCB.Checked = false;
twoDCB.Checked = false;
}
}
private void button8_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// operations: 1. (*) 2. (/) 3. (+) 4. (-)
// digits are as number indicates.
// Second window popup.
Form2 settingsForm = new Form2();
settingsForm.Show();
}
}
}
Here's form2, naked pretty much.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace FinalProject
{
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
public Form2()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void FinishedBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}

This might work.
There are comments in the code.
The workflow is creating a new instance of the class Form2 and setting two public variables. Public means that they can be accessed from outside of the class (see here, if you want). Then the method Show() is called and the Form appears. In the Form2 code, the public variables now have the values previously specified and can be used.

// it's the question form, right?
Form2 questionForm = new Form2();
//"Write" your settings in the other form's variables
//You will have to write code that finds out which checkbox is which number! For now its fixed.
questionForm.operation = 2;

how to handle multiple events on forms in c#

in my current project ,i have a form which contains 2 command buttons named COPY and Cancel
if i click COPY button it is copying 3000 files from source directory to a destination directory ,at the same time if click the Cancel Button , it should cancel the copy and exit the form. is there any way to do so?
i applied the solution but got errors. i have the following code
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Threading;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication8
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private volatile bool _continue = false;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_continue = true;
System.Threading.ThreadStart ts = new ThreadStart(print_number);
System.Threading.Thread t = new Thread(ts);
t.Start();
}
private void print_number()
{
for (int i = 1; i <= 10000; i++)
{
textBox1.Text = Convert.ToString(i);
if (_continue == false)
{
return;
}
//Thread.Sleep(2000);
}
}
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_continue = false;
Close();
}
}
}

Example:
private volatile bool _continue = false;
private void CopyClicked(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_continue = true;
System.Threading.ThreadStart ts = new ThreadStart(CopyFiles);
System.Threading.Thread t = new Thread(ts);
t.Start();
}
private void CopyFiles(){
List<String> list = GetFileNames();
foreach( String f in list )
{
if ( _continue == false )
{
return;
}
CopyFile(s); //examples...
}
}
private void CancelClicked(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_continue = false;
Close();
}

How can I multithread (effectively) on Windows Forms?

This one is giving me a hard time.
The thing is that I have a code that plays some notes in MIDI, and I wanted to be able to pause it, so I made a simple Form like this:
namespace Music
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
static BackgroundWorker _bw = new BackgroundWorker
{
WorkerSupportsCancellation = true
};
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!Playing)
{
Playing = true;
_bw.DoWork += Start_Playing;
_bw.RunWorkerAsync("Hello to worker");
}
else
{
Playing = false;
_bw.CancelAsync();
}
}
static void Start_Playing(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
//Plays some music
}
}
}
And when I click it starts playing, but no matter what I do, it can't stop. But the thing is that if I do the same thing in the console it works perfect.
Did I miss something?
How can I control a separate thread from the form?

This seems to work...

{
private BackgroundWorker _bw = new BackgroundWorker { WorkerSupportsCancellation = true,
WorkerReportsProgress = true};
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (_bw.IsBusy)
{
_bw.CancelAsync();
}
else
{
_bw.ProgressChanged += new ProgressChangedEventHandler(_bw_ProgressChanged);
_bw.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(_bw_DoWork);
_bw.RunWorkerAsync();
}
}
void _bw_ProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
textBox1.Text += (string)e.UserState;
}
void _bw_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
int count = 0;
while (!_bw.CancellationPending)
{
_bw.ReportProgress(0, string.Format("worker working {0}", count));
++count;
Thread.Sleep(2000);
}
}
}
}
