[RESOLVED] Forms and Close() method
Hi all!!
I am developing a Windows based application using VS 2005.
I have a main form with a main menu on it and I use the menu items to call other forms of the application. When one of the menu items is clicked a form (which I call Form1) is called using the ShowDialog method. Then on this form there is a button that when clicked calls another form using ShowDialog again (called Form2). Form2 has a button that when clicked I call the Close() method to close the form. This way Form2 is closed but at the same time Form1 is closed too and I can not understand why. And I don't want this to happen. After displaying some info on Form2 I want to continue using Form1.
Any idea?? Please help ASAP....
Re: Forms and Close() method
I was unable to reproduce the described behaviour. Maybe you could post a small project showing the problem?

Re: Forms and Close() method
I cannot see why this would happen but...
One thing, rather than calling Form.Close() would be to assign the Forms 'CancelButton' property (in the designer) to the [Close] button and see if this cures your problem.
Re: Forms and Close() method
Show us the code. You are doing something to cause it, but we can't know what that is.

Heh, yep, it's not possible to do this unless you have a mistake in your coding. Close() does not effect Owners.
Re: Forms and Close() method
Thank you all for your time!!
I couldn't figure out what the problem was but after I tried some different things, I deleted the button that called Form2 on Form1 and recreated it and no problem remained:)))
Thank you again!
