Board index » Visual Studio » Adding Form2

Visual Studio245
I want to add a second Windows Form to my app, but do not

know how to implement communication between the 2 Forms.

I want to be able to open and close Form2 from a button on

Form1 and need to know if Form2 is open or closed. Also,

I would like to open and close Form2 without causing logic

conflicts on Form1. I know in Visual J++6 they use an

interface to communicate between 2 Forms. My question is

How ? How do the 2 Forms communicate with one another ?

Please help RS.

Hi Rob,



When you really want to open and close it from everywhere then you get fast

strange not logical situations.



I think it is better to make form2 visable or/and hide it from your form1

and from your form2.



Just my thought.

In the simplest case, you will have to pass a reference to the other

form. This reference can be used to close the form.
