Dear Sir/ Madam

I have created C# Project using Visual Studio IDE Technology. On this project I have created 2 Forms, and my slight problem is as follows:.

Basicly on Form1 when I click cmdTab1 button it calls Form2.

On Form2 I have 2 buttons (OK, and CANCEL), when I click OK button it does the job (it makes the Panel visible to false on Form1), but when I click CANCEL button it does close the Form2 (which is what i want) but for some reason it shows me some other components from Form1 to visible true (I mean it shows visible=true the other 2 Panels that I have them on Form1).

Here is some of that code from Form2

FORM2

C#

public partial class NumberOfCovers : Form
{
    private Panel cP;

public NumberOfCovers()
{
   InitializeComponent();
}

public NumberOfCovers(Panel p)
{
   InitializeComponent();
   cP = p;
}
      
private void cmdOk_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   cP.Visible = false;
   this.Close(); 
}

private void cmdCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      /* Here im having the dificulty */
      this.Close();
}
}

Here is the other code from Form1

FORM1

C#

private void cmdTab1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      NumberOfCovers numcov = new NumberOfCovers(this.ButtonTablesPanel);
      numcov.ShowDialog();
      TableOrderPanel.Visible = true;
      FlowLayoutPanelUserFunctions.Visible = false;
      SendOrderPanel.Visible = true;

}

Now I don't understand what is wrong, but all I want is that when i click CANCEL button on Form2 I want to close Form2 only and nothing else...

Any help would be gratfull. Thanks in advance...

Kind regards

You want to do this:

C#

private void cmdTab1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    NumberOfCovers numcov = new NumberOfCovers(this.ButtonTablesPanel);
    DialogResult result = numcov.ShowDialog();
    if (result == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        TableOrderPanel.Visible = true;
        FlowLayoutPanelUserFunctions.Visible = false;
        SendOrderPanel.Visible = true;
    }
}

In form2, you may need to do this:

C#

private void cmdOk_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    cP.Visible = false;
    this.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
    this.Close(); 
}

private void cmdCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.DialogResult = DialogResult.Cancel;
    this.Close();
}
