ok when you click button for form 1 or 2, hide the base form then show the desired form with the ShowDialog() method. after which you then show the baseForm again Then for the disabled buttons you simply close the current form.

Handle the on close event for each form, then call Application.Exit();

If only MySelf.Visible was more than just a getter... A person can produce over 5 times there own body weight in excrement each year... please re-read your questions before posting

Thanks friend for fast reply. I take the method ShowDialog() from your advice but I cant take the "Simply Close the Current Form" I need to disable the button. Its my real problem. I mean when i click the button Form1, it will show Form1 form and hide base form(in the background baseform load newly as well because its being Inherited). I tried to set click Event on the button in the BaseForm so that when it click it will show form and disable button. But since the BaseForm load freashly it cant not detect the click and the button visible. Plz some one help me. Thanks :)

ok you lost me now :) let me get this straight - BaseForm has 2 buttons called 'Form1' and 'Form2' only Form1 has 1 button called 'disable' Form2 has 1 button called 'disable' Now... when you click 'Form1' you want to hide baseForm and show Form1, right? then when you click 'Disable' on Form1 you want to hide Form1 and then re-show BaseForm, right? Same for Form2, right?

I haven't dealt with an inherited form but I think this achieves what you want - adapt to suit.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public partial class BaseForm : Form
{
public BaseForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public BaseForm(bool showForm1Button)
: this()
{
btnForm1.Visible = showForm1Button;
}

private void btnForm1\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    BaseForm newBaseForm = new BaseForm(false);
    newBaseForm.FormClosing += new FormClosingEventHandler(newBaseForm\_FormClosing);
    newBaseForm.Show();
    Hide();
}

void newBaseForm\_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
    Close();
}

}

:) Im sorry i made u confused You are almost clear with my probs just a lil misunderstood. Im gonna clear it now. Form1 has 1 button called 'btnForm1' and text 'Form1' Form2 has 1 button called 'btnForm2' and text 'Form2' now when I click 'Form1' I want to hide base form and show Form1 and Disable the btnForm1 button. Means u cant click btnForm1. U just can click Form2 button when form1 shows. I think now I made u clear. Thanks buddy :)

Hi SoulIdentities, I would use an Event Handler, that contains your own bespoke EventArgs. You can contain within that EventArgs a delegate that points to a function. Your base class will contain the function and you will register the event handler of your childs form to your base form. When you close the child form, you will call the eventhandler, which will in turn post up to the base form which will react with a close of itself. Cheers, Paul

Sorry Paul I am not clear. Can you make some example. I will appritiate it. Thanks :)
