I have this situation, with parent-child forms. The user changes values in the child form; a total in the parent form has to be updated.
I decided to simply issue
ThisForm.Refresh() (in the parent form), in Form.Activate(). This won't update the parent form immediately, though.
Other places where you could update forms might include: 1) a timer, 2) an object reference in the child form.
