Opening two forms of the same kind

1 New Member
I have created a program wherein a user will be able to monitor a patient after he/she is selected from a list. Once the patient is selected, a new form (monitor form) is opened for monitoring. What I want to do is to be able to minimize the monitor form without closing it, show the previous form with the list of patients so that the user can monitor more patients and be able to open the another monitor form once another patient is selected again.

Without seeing code it's hard to know exactly how to answer the question. Although if I'm right, you probably want to use form.Show() instead of form.ShowDialog().
