Opening and closing Form C#

[DevilInside]

Hi

In WinForms, I want to navigate from a form to another one. The problem is that he doesn't want to close the first Form when I do that.

Code

frmRecieve oForm = new frmRecieve ();
oForm.ShowDialog();

this.Close();

Anyone who can help? Thanks

If u don't want to close first form(form1) when u navigate to onther form(form2)..
Write down following code.

Form2 frm=new Form2();
frm.showDialog();

This code work perfectly.Althought form2 display on screen but it is modal so u can't navigate to from1 untill u close from2.

Bye...Take Care....Enjoy Coding

frmRecieve oForm = new frmRecieve ();
//oForm.ShowDialog();
//if you change this line to Show(), the forms can be switched back and forth.
oForm.Show();
//this.Close();
//skip the Close() part to not close the current form.
 

Also, if you want to be able to switch back and forth, but not be able to spawn multiple forms, set frmRecieve oForm as a public member of the parent form.
Then, when you want to bring it up,

if(oForm == null || oForm.IsDisposed)
{
  oForm = new frmRecieve();
  oForm.Show();
}
else
  oForm.Focus();

Oh, I misunderstood that, sorry. I don't know off the top of my head. Let me think about it.

I Finally figured it out

FrmTest oForm = new FrmTest();
oForm.ShowDialog();

this.Dispose(FALSE);

Thx anyway
