Help with Main()

Question

static void Main()
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
form1 frm1 = new form1();
Application.Run(frm1);
form2 frm2 = new form2();
Application.Run(frm2);
frm1.Close();
}

Why doesn't form2 show?

Suthish Nair · Answer

yes frm2.Show() is the right way. i just used the same code from his post.

Vulpes · Answer

Suthish's solution looks good to me except that I wouldn't use Application.Run() again as this will start another (independent) message loop. I'd just call Show(): public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); Form2 frm2 = new Form2(); frm2.Show(); }

If you must have multiple top-level windows showing at the same time independent of each other then you can use the ApplicationContext class but it is a bit complicated to use.

Suthish Nair · Answer

Yes Sam is right. Am not sure what you trying for If want to run the Form2 then might this a way.. public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); Form2 frm2 = new Form2(); Application.Run(frm2); }

Sam Hobbs · Answer

form2 should show after form1 is closed. If you must have both forms showing then it gets a little complicated.
