i have (mdi parent form) and (childs form) in child form i have datagridview with columns (code,description,qty) which get its data from dialog form properties how i can pass dialog form properties to child datagridview without closing the dialoge

in child i can use this 

Private Sub ItemsLookupTile_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ItemsLookupTile.Click
    If ItemsLookupForm.ShowDialog(Me) = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.ok Then
        Me.Grid.Rows.Add(ItemsLookupForm.code,ItemsLookupForm.description,ItemsLookupForm.qty)

One thing you can do is have a class representing a row in the datagridview and pass a list of that class to the dialog form in the constructor. Now the dialog can fill the list before it's closed and the child form can access the list when the dialog is closed.

You could try accessing the datagridview directly but the result will be the same the additions won't show up until the dialog is closed.
