Make sure you close the menu form as well when you are closing the second form. You can access that using Application.OpenForms collection.

where are you calling your initial frmMenu form from? I think your problem is you are creating frm2Players from within frmMenu which means when that closes it will close all children.

What you want to do is call frmMenu from wherever it is you call that now, and have that return a value (suggested through a property), when btn2Player is clicked then the property is set and the frmMenu is closed - the parent form/class can then use that property to determine what form to open next.

something like...

if(frmMenu.ShowDialog == DialogResult.OK)
{
  switch(frmMenu.OptionProperty)
  {
    case 1://1 player
      frm1Player frm1P = new frm1Player();
      frm1P.Show();
    break;
    case 2://2 player
      frm2Players frm2P = new frm2Players();
      frm2P.Show();
    break;
  }

}

Yup. That is what happens when I tried to execute the .Close() method. I tried d@nish 's method and it worked the way I wanted it to be. Thanks anyway Smile | :)

No problem, but may I say that the apparent quick fix you have chosen may not be the best option. Will you need to display the frmMenu again at any point?

Out of interest, I assume you are making a game or some sort? any particular reason to use windows forms?

Application.OpenForms collection would help out then.

Yeah maybe, I think it depends on the usage of the menu form, if its a 'main menu' kind of form then it should be re-opened when the game form is done, unless a complete quit selection of some sort is made...

though, you could of course use your method to show the menu form again. I guess it's just preference at the minute (maybe i'll think of a good reason either way later Wink | ;)

)

Erm.. where should I put the

Application.OpenForms[0].Show();

code ? I cant find an event handler that triggers when you closes a form.

Yup Its a tic-tac-toe. I am using labels for the "O" and "X". But. I think I will use MDI instead because I could not figure out where to put the

frmMenu.Show();

code to show the menu form once i close the game form (I could not find any event handler that triggers when you close the form).

EDIT:

Application.OpenForms collection would help out then.

oh wait ...

Hi,

you can't close it.
because 'frm2players' is one child form of the 'frmMenu';
Give you two :
1) hide the 'frmMenu'; use 'frmMenu.visible = false;' or 'frmMenu.Hide();'
2) Create one Thread to create 'frm2Players';
/********************/
'Thread td = new thread(method);' // method is 'create frm2player'
td.start();
/********************/
note: thread is 'light', so can't have Resources as 'Main thread'.

Hello,
I'm developing a desktop application that sends sms messages,I'm trying to send a midi file ring tone to a NOKIA phone but I don't know how to format it to be acceptable for NOKIA phones.First, I've read the file for a byte[] then I've converted it to a hex string but it does not work!
How can I convert the binary midi file to a format acceptable to NOKIA phones?
Thanks

Well, I'm afraid you're all out of luck. A basic understanding of computers will tell you that the reason you get this error, is that you can't access a file being used by another process. Your only option really, if you MUST have access, is to find out the process that's locking it ( that would be Word, from the sound of it ), and kill it. I am sure that's not the result you're looking for.

0) The app that's creating the file would need to allow concurrent reads.
1) But with XML, having access to only a partial document is useless.
2) Ergo, the creating app would need to write the entire file before the reading app reads it, so the creating app might as well close the file and exit before the reading app runs.

Some of what you wrote (e.g. "one predefined xsl file i need to generate one xslt") is gibberish.

Use the FormDesign window and toolbox. Drag a button from the toolbox onto the form and adjust the properties as required.

I hope you don't mean this:

Thread workThread = new Thread(delegate()
{
FindDownloadDialogWindow("#32770", "File Download", 120);
});
