How to see if a form is visible

Hi Gian,

Do you mean the Form.Visible property or how to determine if the form is
partially or fully covered by another window?
To be able to check the Visible property on Form 1 from Form 2 you need a
reference to it.

How do you create the two forms?

If Form2 is created by Form1, pass a reference to Form1 in the
constructor. If Form1 is created by Form2, then you have reference.

class Form1
{
// constructor
public Form1()
{
}
}

class Form2
{
private Form1 form1Reference;

// constructor
public Form2(Form1 form1Reference)
{
this.form1Reference = form1Reference
}

void SomeMethod()
{
if(form1Reference.Visible)
{
// do stuff
}
}
}

How do you create Form2?

Forgot to tell you to do this

// Inside Form1
Form2 f2 = new Form2(this);

Form2 should then pick up the reference to Form1 (this)

If you are doing this, can you show us some code for Form2? and how you
create Form2 in Form1?
