Re: Activate form2 when form1 activates(Back to front)

I have mentioned so many times, minimize and maximize is not a aproblem for me.

I already wrote this code for minimize and maximize of both forms and working fine, but the problem is as follows.

Form1 and form2 both in normal mode.
if i click on 3rd window, both form1 and form2 will go behind that 3rd window.

Again if i want to see form1 and form2, i have to click on form1, so that both forms have to come front of third window and have to visible of both form1 and form2.

I hope u understood my question.

Re: Activate form2 when form1 activates(Back to front)

So do you want them to ALWAYS be on top ?? kind of like Windows live ?? or do you want them both to show if you click on form1 ?

There is an event like Activated. You can try that event.
private void Form1_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//code
}

Re: Activate form2 when form1 activates(Back to front)

Dude this works

C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 private void Form1_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 F2 = new Form2();
 
            F2.ShowDialog(); // Puts it on top (form1 wont be accessible)
            F2.Show();  // Makes form 1 accessible
        }
 private void Form1_Activated(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Form2 F2 = new Form2();

            F2.ShowDialog(); // Puts it on top (form1 wont be accessible)
            F2.Show();  // Makes form 1 accessible
        }

Hope that helps
