.NET / Windows App, Multiple Forms / Windows...

[=?Utf-8?B?VG9kZCBKYXNwZXJz?=]

Hey guys, really dumb question here... I've been doing all of my development
in the past few years as web applications. Therefore, if I need a new window
or form, I simply have it go to another page. I haven't written a Visual C++
or VB (or Delphi) application in at least 4 years and for the life of me, I
don't remember how to go from one window to the next. What I mean is, lets
say I have a main menu with buttons on it. Someone clicks one of the buttons,
I want the main window to dissapear and the new window (with new options) to
open. I know each window is a "form.cs".. . how do I make that "call" to tell
the new window to open. I'm assuming of course I don't automatically just
OPEN all the forms at the same time and just hide them.



I know this is really lame, but any help would be appreciated.





Thanks!!!

In the "handler" use ...

frmAbout frm = new frmAbout();
frm.Show();

.... to display the frm with the name frmAbout.

Or try ShowDialog()

Re: .NET / Windows App, Multiple Forms / Windows...

The first time I use ...
ShowDalog( frmAbout( ) );
.... from a MDI form it throws an error with ...
Additional information: Form that is already visible cannot be displayed as
a modal dialog box. Set the form's visible property to false before calling
showDialog.

If I instead use ...
frmAbout frm = new frmAbout();
frm.Show();
.... it succeeds.

Suggestion?
