What you can do is cast the MdiParent property of Form2 to a type of

Form1, then access the properties of the MainMenu control. Be

sure that the access modifier for the menu controls is set to

Public, or else you won't be able to see it.

 

Dim parentForm As Form1 = DirectCast(Me.MdiParent, Form1) ' Cast the parent form type to Form1
parentForm.MainMenu.MenuItems(0).Enable = True ' Enable the menu item here (put in your own code)
Me.Close()
