Forms
-
If you modify the form2 constructor to take a Form instance that would be form1 and keep it in your form2 instance, for further use.
How would I pass an instance of form1 as there is no variable for it. It is being initialized in the Program.cs
Application.Run(new form1())
method.

I have two forms. With a button on each. The click event of the button on the first form is as follows
Form2 form2;
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (form2 == null)
{
form2 = new Form2();
form2.Show();
}
}I want the button on the second form to bring back the first form on top with the BringToFront() method. How do I access the first form as there is no variable for it.

this code creates a new instance if form2 is not already opened, But what to do if form2 is opened and then closed by user(by X button of form2). i tried in else part of your block like this else { form2.BringToFront(); form2.Activate(); } but its not working. I think when user close the form2 it got disposed, but form2 instance not set to null. How to solve this? thanks and regards.

listen, i dont know what you are trying to achieve but use the mdi forms parent/child method instead in the future. i dont see the purpose of using many forms (or use usercontrols like pages). :)

Yes you are rt. Thanx for pointing out the prob. I tried to set form2 to null in the form2 closing event, but I dont why it's not working. but this works
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (form2 == null)
{
form2 = new Form2(this);
form2.Show();
}
else if (form2.IsDisposed)
{
form2 = new Form2(this);
form2.Show();
}
else
{
form2.Focus();
}
}The only problem is that if I want to work on form2 and close form1, form2 also closes since form2.Show() had been called. Is there a way to keep form2 running even after form1 has been closed Guys Help

listen, if you are studying that method ok, go ahead, but like i said if you are trying to build some kind of application and you are thinking on using that method...drop it :laugh: i create applications using a single form!!! :) then a fill the form with lots of usercontrols that are pages. Or you can use mdi parent/child form method.
