Hi there,
I was wondering if there was any way to stop the hiding of a dialog from
returning from the ShowDialog function?
i.e. If you create your own dialog and put some code in that hides it
temporarily during it's use, the ShowDialog function will return the second
it is hidden, this is the same for ".Hide()" as well as sending
ShowWindow(...S W_HIDE).
Many thanks in advance!
Nick.

Hiding a dialog you have shown with ShowDialog obviously causes it to return
because ShowDialog is Modal (modal dialog is one which blocks input to all
other toplevel windows). What you want to do is "Show" the dialog, but to
hold a reference to it in your form class, otherwise it will dissapear when
it gets disposed (on exit from the method which created it).
Hi there,
Yes I understand why it does it, but technically the form has not been
closed. As a temporary "fix" I have moved the form offscreen while the user
finishes the operation.
I was hoping I could have got around it without blocking the calling
thread manually but I guess I can't. Many thanks for your advice.
Nick.

I need some dialog handling help, I must be missing something obvious here
but I can't figure out the solution to the following problem...
Simple Win Forms app that has button on the form. The click event handler
for the button creates another dialog (as a form object) and calls it's
ShowDialog method to dsiplay it modally. The secondary dialog then appears
that has OK and Cancel buttons and the user can interact as expected. Now...

I'm fairly new to c#, and I am just trying to work out how a

Currently in my code, I have an object represented by the class 'Dog'.
The dog object has several properties.
I have added a new windows form, class 'DogProperties'. I'm attempting
to use this to allow the user to edit the properties of an instance of
'Dog'.

Hello. I've written an app that I want to "live" in the system tray.
I want it to start up with just a tray icon showing, and if the user

"Cancel", the window should hide again.
At first, I tried putting a "Me.Visible = False" in the form's Load
event, but apparently that code runs before the command can...

Hi,
I have an app that requires 4 child forms each created on a separate thread.
Each form holds a 3rd Party Phone answering control.
The control will only answer the phone if the form has been displayed.
Instantiating the form is not enough.
The only way I have been able to display the form(s) is myForm.ShowDialog();
myForm.Show() does nothing. (Code snippet below.)
So...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
