Simple Form Problem(hopefully)
Nov 17 2010 8:59 PM
I am brand new to C# and am having problems. I need my Main form to open my FileDialog
form. I need the file dialog box to stay on top of my Main form(Preferably not on top of other
applications forms, but i can live with out this). I need the FileDialog form to be a child ( not MDI)
of the first form (a modal, I believe it is called). I tried Google, Microsoft, various others, and
I know it's something simple I am overlooking.
Here is my code. I have 2 designed forms frmMain and frmFileImport.
frmFileImport FileDialog = new frmFileImport();
frmMain MainForm = new frmMain();
FileDialog.TopMost = true;
FileDialog.ShowDialog(MainForm);
The new form gets created (automatically minimized for some reason) and is just like any
plain form. I can keep clicking my Main form button(the one that opens the FileDialog) and
new FileDialofg window will appear. I only want one FileDialog and have my Main form locked
until FialDialog closes!
I am using Visual C# Express 2010. I think in VB its just frmName.Show(OwnerName).
