Ensure the form is disposed

How to ensure that a form is disposed?
When I work with modal forms I do the following:

using (Form1 frm = new Form1())
{
frm.ShowDialog( );
}

As far as I read, when it ends the using scope, the form is disposed.
But if I don't use modal forms, like this:

Form1 frm = new Form1();
frm.Show();

In this case, when the user clicks on the X button, or a close button,
the form is disposed?

Junior,

Yes, when the user clicks on the close button, the form is disposed of.
When the message to close is received for the form, it calls Dispose.

Hope this helps.

I have one form which is my main form and has 4 option buttons and two regular buttons, one for saving and the other for canceling the program. When the user select an option button, a new form is opened and he can fill in some fields by using a context menu (standard answers). When he is finished, tapping on the save button, the form is hidden and the user is returned to the main form, where an image is drawn that the form is filled in...

I have a Microsoft UI Process Application Block that is controlling child forms in an MDI parent container. The views node in the app.config file has been set to stayOpen=false.

In order for this to happen, I have implemented the IMessageFilter interface to intercept messages in the...

The error I get is: Cannot access a disposed Object named "Form2". Object name "Form2". Here is the sequence which gives the error. Start program. Form1 comes up and has a button to choose Form2. Go to Form2. Close Form2 when done. Now back on Form1. Click button to go back to Form2. The error/exception comes up.

Hello, I am confused by dispose etc. and hope someone can set me right. 1. The Dispose(Bool) the IDE generates for a form has nothing to do with IDisposable, right? 2. So when is this called? When a form is closed? If this is caused automatically when a form is closed how can I then access things on a modal from after ShowDialog() returns? Or is it only for modeless forms?

Using vb.net 2008 windows forms. How can a form which has been closed and disposed still attempt to handle a custom event? I have a form which inherits from a base form class. The base class has a shared event which is raised when a property in the base class changes (the property updates a shared variable value).

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
