You can't access an instance's textbox from a static method - the
static method does not even know whether or not an instance of the
form even exists, let alone which one is calling it.
If you can change your static methods so their not static, that would
be best - or you can pass the reference to the textbox (or the form
itself) around as a parameter, then you'll be able to access it.
