creating a separate window in c#

[044879]

Hello. What I am trying to do is simple. I don't want to create a window inside a form, but a window that acts independently outside the form. so for example, let's say I am doing a program that displays statistics about a person, so, when the user clicks a button, a separate window appears that displays the information.

thank you.

Create another form.

Thanks for the reply. I did this previously, ie

Form chForm = new Form();
chForm.MdiParen t = this;

chForm.Left = 100;
chForm.Show();

But, the window appears within the form, not outside it.

The reason your child form appeared inside the original form is because you set the child form's parent!

chForm.MdiParent = this; //SET THE PARENT FORM TO this MDI CONTAINER

Hello

Your question sounds typical what a window you mean and a form .

if you want to have your main form existing and show some the details in some other new windows form dont make it as a child for the main form just use

form2().showmet hod you can defnately get the new window separately and you can close that new one too

Hope may be clear

Good luck
