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 ...

There is a Form_Closing event. You can make use of that.

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

Dad

Depends on the Nokia model, most phones accept MP3 in today's models.

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.

Obviously.
The function is only described, not actually given, on that blog. It's not to hard to write it, but you seem more like the copy&paste kind of "programmer" to me. No offense, but matching up parenthesis and adding missing semicolons is not exactly high-level.

Good luck.

Your code produces syntax errors. I suggest you try the code harold posted.

If you still get an error, try calling FindDownloadDialogWindow without the thread, this will help you determine whether your call to the method is OK, then add back the delegate call.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
