two forms

[Stormy]

I am working on an app(C#) with two forms A and B. form A is the main
form and form B is created in A's constructor. when I minimize both of
them. they all shown on taskbar as A and B. my problem is when I click
B, A is always maximized. but I want click B and B maximized. click A
and A maximized.

Is there a good way to correct my problem? thanks

Show your code.

Are you using B.Show() or B.ShowDialog() ?
Try Show()

Steven,

Are you sure of that, is it not to use ShowDialog with in that form the
property ShowInTaskbar set to false

Hi Cor,

I'm not quite sure what the question is you are asking.
And I am not quite sure what the relevance of "ShowInTaskbar" is to the
OP's question.
The OP asked about why A gets maximised when B is clicked on from the
task bar.
To my knowledge they do not want to hide/show items on the taskbar.

I apologise if I have misunderstood anything about the posts from
yourself or the OP.

Regards,
Steven

Properties of win form state can be maximized when the Click on form is
detected ?

[Stormy]

Thank you very much for the reply.

Here is my code: Form A's maximize property set as true, and B's
minimize property set as true. I create a button on each of the form,
when you click it, its form will be minimized and another form will be
maximized.
I use B.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;

public class A : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{

//FormB derived from System.Windows.Forms.Form
private FormB B;

public A()
{
B= new FormB();
B.Owner = this;
B.Show();
}
}

Here is my new found.
1 . if I enable maximize button of both forms. when I minimize both
of them and click A on taskbar(not notifyicon), the B form will be pop
up.
2. if I disable maximize button of both forms, when I minimize both
of them. some time only A displayed on taskbar, if I click it, B will
pop up. sometime they both displayed on taskbar, click one of them and
it will pop up right form.
