hi guys,

i am fairly new to c++/cli programming. In my project i have a main form. when i click a button on it i hide this form and show other form. this is working fine. The code i used is

weatherfrm^ weather = gcnew weatherfrm();
this->Hide();
weather->ShowDialog();

now what i want to do is when i click the button on the second form i want to show the first form again and close this form. i am able to close the second form but i cant find a way to show the first form as i cannot create an instance veriable of first form on the second form. The reaon for this is that i include the second form weather.h in the frst one but now i cant do the same for the mainform as the files cannot include each other.

can someone plz help me.

Solution 1

You show the second form using the method ShowDialog(), this call show the form and doesn't return until the form is closed. Then to show again the main form, you have to just add this->Show() on the line below:

C++

weatherfrm^ weather = gcnew weatherfrm();
this->Hide();
weather->ShowDialog();
this->Show();
