.NET Forum / Languages / C# / March 2008How to programatically close a form which has a Font/Color Dialog opened
Hi, I have a form (say FormB) on which i have opened a font dialog. There are situations when i need to close FormB, from another form (say FormA) in my application. i am calling FormB.Close(), but the form doesn't close. The moment i close the Font Dialog, FormB gets closed. (Also, I observe the same behavior when i open other forms using ShowDialog from FormB) I need to find a way so that FormB closes as soon as i call FormB.Close(); Regards, Ankit On Mar 21, 6:41 am, aagarw...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Regards, > Ankit I don't think this is possible. The only way it would work is if you could somehow tell the modal dialog to close, and I'm not sure of a way to get that. > On Mar 21, 6:41 am, aagarw...@gmail.com wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > could somehow tell the modal dialog to close, and I'm not sure of a > way to get that. Any, i have opened FormB on a separate thread. so i can have FormB blocked with a modal dialog, but can still work on FormA (and thereby initiate a close of FormB) Regards, Ankit >> I don't think this is possible.

If you really want to do this, you need to close the modal dialog first (as Andy already said). Then you can close the form that opened the modal dialog. Not that this is all that much nicer to the user, but at least it's less surprising than a form underneath a modal dialog disappearing while the modal dialog sticks around doing who knows what.

So it will never be a situation that the form disappears from the background, and the modal window stands thr orphaned. Ankit! > I dont just want to close the FormB, but also the modal dialog/form > blocking it. Then perhaps you could be more clear about what's giving you trouble. Posting a concise-but-complete code sample would be a good starting point. What about closing the two forms are you having a hard time figuring out?

Not only that, but IMHO closing a form without the user consent (or as a response to an user action) is rude, very rude
