How to programatically close a form which has a Font/Color Dialogopened

[aagarwal8]

Hi,

I have a form (say FormB) on which i have opened a font dialog. There
are situations when i need to close FormB, from another form (say
FormA) in my application. i am calling FormB.Close(), but the form
doesn't close. The moment i close the Font Dialog, FormB gets closed.
(Also, I observe the same behavior when i open other forms using
ShowDialog from FormB)

I need to find a way so that FormB closes as soon as i call
FormB.Close();

Regards,
Ankit

I don't think this is possible. The only way it would work is if you
could somehow tell the modal dialog to close, and I'm not sure of a
way to get that.

Hi,

if the dialog is modal, how are you gonna clse it from another form?
Not only that, but IMHO closing a form without the user consent (or as
a response to an user action) is rude, very rude

I dont just want to close the FormB, but also the modal dialog/form
blocking it.

Then perhaps you could be more clear about what's giving you trouble.
Posting a concise-but-complete code sample would be a good starting
point. What about closing the two forms are you having a hard time
figuring out?
