the simplest thing pass home page form new setupinfo form.

in setupinfo.h:

public ref class setupinfo : form { private:     homepage^ homepage;  public:     setupinfo(homepage^ homepage); }; 

in setupinfo.cpp:

setupinfo::setupinfo(homepage^ homepage) {     this->homepage = homepage; }  void setupinfo::setupinfo_load(system::object^  sender, system::eventargs^ e) {     button1->text = this->homepage->textbox1->text; }
