creating a separate window in c#

[044879]

Hello. What I am trying to do is simple. I don't want to create a window inside a form, but a window that acts independently outside the form. so for example, let's say I am doing a program that displays statistics about a person, so, when the user clicks a button, a separate window appears that displays the information.

thank you.

Create another form.

Thanks for the reply. I did this previously, ie

Form chForm = new Form();
chForm.MdiParent = this;

chForm.Left = 100;
chForm.Show();

But, the window appears within the form, not outside it.

The reason your child form appeared inside the original form is because you set the child form's parent!

chForm.MdiParent = this; //SET THE PARENT FORM TO this MDI CONTAINER

Hello

Your question sounds typical what a window you mean and a form .

if you want to have your main form existing and show some the details in some other new windows form dont make it as a child for the main form just use

form2().showmethod you can defnately get the new window separately and you can close that new one too

Hope may be clear

Good luck
