Close a form from another form?

[Darshon]

Hello everyone, I have two windows forms, form1 has a close button that I would like to use to close not only form1 but also form2 at the same time if form2 is open. Is there a way to do this cause I cannot find anything that can help me with this?

On Click event of your Close button do this Application.Exit()

If you are running both forms(both open during running mode), you can always use, me.close that closes the current form and after that write form2.close(that is if your second form was initialized as form2.frm):-D:rolleyes: kagiso

Oh, on your button click event, you do all those things. me.close form2.close this will close two forms and will leave other running forms,if you have any. kagiso

Thanks guys, I'll try all of them cause I will need to exit certain forms only and also eventually the aplication in the end. Got two answers for the $0.00 price of one. ;)

Well I tried these suggestions and all I kept getting is that there was no instance set to an object and I've tried it many different ways and nothing BUT, I did find this article about Singletons which is letting me do exactly what I want. :) So for anyone that is having toubles like this here a good place to start looking >> http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/Simple_Singleton_Forms.asp[^]
