I'm not sure I can help but I think I understand what your asking.  I'll 
assume that you mean 'frame' when you say 'forms'.  If your opening one frame 
(a window) and typing into the multiline text and then click a button to 
transfer data and open a second frame with the info then"

Pass the frame1 info (first window/frame)  in the EVT_BUTTON event.

Something like 
frame = MainWindow(None,-1, "Main Window")
# you set up a var in secondWindow class like 
#self.textinfo =''
#then in the EVT_BUTTON event say something like
myframe=secondWindow(frame,-1,"second window")
myframe.textinfo = the value of the text control

I hope this helps.  As a newbie it has been working for me anyway.
