Your approach is kind of confusing. It seems that you need to use your
ChildForm as DialogBox but on other hand you are saying that multiple
ChildForms can be open at a time. Anyway for your requirement #2, i.e.
when "Exit" button on ChildForm is clicked switch back to MainForm,
you can register a handler for Form_Closed event of ChildForm, in your
MainForm, then whenever ChildForm is closed this handler will be
executed in MainForm there you can call the Focusing methods to
activate the MainForm. E.g.,
public partial class MainForm : Form
{
public MainForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ChildForm frmNew;
frmNew = new ChildForm();
frmNew.FormClosed += new
FormClosedEventHandler(childform_closed);
frmNew.Show();
}
private void childform_closed(object sender,
FormClosedEventArgs e)
{
this.Focus();
this.Activate();
}
}
