Showing Windows Form

Good Morning:
I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem that I have. I have one form
that is a MdiParent; when I open up another form using the ShowDialog()
method a second window button shows up in the task bar. Is there anyway that
I can prevent the second window button from showing up? I don't want to make
the form a mdichild form to the parent. I would like to show the form when a
menu button/button is clicked on the parent form but I only want one form
window to show in the task bar (just like in excel or word) when a child form
is opened. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Goodafternoon,

When you don't want to use extra forms, than you can use panels which you
show and hide.

I hope this helps,
