Regarding Windows Form opening and closing

GB_1114 asked:

Open original thread
Hi,

I am calling a form1 show function at a menu item click. When the form1 opens, on OK button click, I am opening another form2 using an instance and closing the form1.
But the problem is that when form2 opens and form1 closes, the form2 gets minimized. I dont want that to happen, I even tried disabling the form2 minimized button.

here is a sample of what my code looks like:
C#
MenuItemClick()
{
    Form1 frm1 = new Form1;
    frm1.show();
}
///this displays Form 1

Form1Button_OK_Click()
{
  Form2 frm2 = new Form2();
  frm2.show();
  this.hide();////(Form1)
}


When I do this, the form1 does close, but the form2 minimizes.I want Form2 to be up on the screen. Can anyone help me on this?

Thanks
