Hello, Have you tried using the

ShowDialog()

method when you are opening the second window from within the form1's code? E.g.:

    private void button1\_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
         Form SecondForm = new SecondForm();
         SecondForm.ShowDialog();
    }

This will open the second form on-top of the first form, and the main form cannot be accessed until the second form has been disposed. Hope this helps.
