To hide the form use the Form.Hide method. To show it again use Form.Show Simple, no?

If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends? Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines. If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

hey OriginalGriff, Tks for the reply. i have edited my question to make it more clear. I open and hide my form using form.show and form.hide how do i check if the current form is hidden so as not to perform certain task

The property form.Visible determines whether a form is visible (shown).

you can put global bool var. and when you hide the form put it True else false (it is just an idea)

this how i hide a form and open a new one

Form1 form = new Form1(); // new Form
this.Visible = false; // The Current Showing Form Hides
if(form.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) // Makes Form Show
{

}
this.Visible = true; / on close of the form you opened the one you started from shows

:)
