Create an object for your Popup window like...

Form1 f = new Form1();
f.showDialog();

Will show your Form1...

Let's say you called your popup window class "PopupWindow". You created it by right-clicking on your project in project explorer and chosing "Add new Windows Form". Then you added a text box and an "Ok"-Button.

You also added a property to your form so that you can later gain access to the data the user entered in the text box.

public class PopupWindow
{
    public string EnteredText
    {
        get
        {
            return( textBox.Text );
        }
    }
}

Now you use your new class like this:

PopupWindow popup = new PopupWindow();

popup.ShowDialog();

string userEnteredText = popup.EnteredText;

popup.Dispose();
