Close them like this

Form.Close();

remember that the Form should be an object of your form.

MessageBoxes are Modal Forms, you cannot move to another Form in the same application while they are showing!

I have a situation when i have to move to another form in the same application while messageBox is showing.
I do it by using SetForegroundWindow method.

Yes you can do it programatically, but not manually, as far as I know anyway.

If you're showing a MessageBox, then you have a modal window in operation. This needs to be dismissed before your application can receive user input again.

that is exactly the purpose of a modal dialog: you have to provide some information or consent before the app can continue. That is how most apps force you to answer "Do you want to save your document?"when you click the close box or the exit menuitem while your document holds unsaved data.

Other forms can be shown "modeless" meaning they don't insist on keeping your atention. For forms you choose between Show() and ShowDialog(), the former is modeless, the latter modal. However MessageBox is always modal.

Count the bold letters in ms word document

I'm working on windows application.I need to find out the number of bold letters available in the Word document.
I have used name space Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word to read the word document and also tried with some of the properties like Selection,Range to find whether the character is in bold or not but no result.

I have read each character by reading the content of document and checking its format but here while reading the text the character is missing its Format.

I have also tried by converting it into html format and tried by using HTML Element Collection but it is unable to read/recognize the bold tag.

Please give the solution to count the bold letters of word document.

Thanks

Hope this code helps

Document doc = ac.Documents.Open(ref oldFileName, ref m, ref readOnly,
                    ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m,
                    ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m, ref m);
                int count = 0;
                for (int i=1;i<= doc.Content.Characters.Count;i++)
                {
                    if (doc.Content.Characters[i].Bold == -1)
                    {
                        count++;
                    }
                }
                MessageBox.Show(count.ToString());

Thanks for replying to my post.

It is not working as it is displaying the total no.of characters of the word document.

I think while reading the characters from the word document it is removing the font formatting and then reading the characters with normal font.so unable to find the bold letters.

Please Suggest the solution.

Thank you

Wow, what a great class assignment!
Tell your teacher that they have my respect for coming up with a great class assignment!

That's a great project. And, one like I would often try to come up with when I was teaching.

Some students are not smart. And, I'd say some are very foolish. Frown | :(

Thankfully, some students are very smart! Smile | :)

Those make teaching very satisfying!

Most teachers are pretty smart! Smile | :)

Many teachers will check the different forums for posts and answers. Trust me, a student does not want to be caught cheating! If they are lucky, they would get a "D". In many cases/schools, an "F" is a given. Sometimes, an automatic course failure is the result. Ouch!
In some colleges/universities, they will kick the person out of the school! Yikes!

Just my two cents! Smile | :)

C# doesn't have an input box [bit stupid] but you do have a couple of choices:
0. write one - a simple static method like this[^] was found on a very quick google.
1. Import one. Use the VB one in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll assembly.
2. dunno.
