I think you can't disable all the functions it but you can make the form1 cannot be accessed whlie form2 is open. use the function form2.ShowDialog(this); -> will make form2 as a dialog box hope this will help.

It would help to spell Dialog() correctly.... ! IE form.ShowDialog() (not Dailog())

Thank u, it is working.. But i have some more doubts on this .I have created an object of on form and that object can be used only within that code window because all the code windows are by default 'private'.Is it not possible using only one object for one form for the entire programme.

button1 is the button name double click on the button on the form to reach here private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { } then write this code in it.. Form2 x = new Form2(); x.Show(); finally it will look some what like this.. private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Form2 x = new Form2(); x.Show(); } you have to remember that Form2 is rhe name of the second form try this Manoj

Hi I did not use window for long time but try this. let us assume that you have a button, so when you click on the button you go to the next form. Now on the form1 double click on the button or link(whatever). you will go to code mode. inside this function you need to writer your code to call the second form. Form2 f=new Form2(); // if you have default constructor and form2 is the second for that you want to call as i do not know what you called them f.showDailog(); // i used this for VB.net but i think it is the same also for C# good luck and let me know if it is working or when you solve it.
