Question

class Form1: Form
{
    public void showNewDialog()
      {
         Form2 = new Form2();
         diagForm.showDialog(this);
         diagForm.Dispose();
      }
}

In the above code the Owner property of diagForm is set to NULL. How to set its Owner property to Form1 instance ?

Answer 1

You can set the owner this way :

class Form1: Form
{
.
.
.
    public void showNewDialog()
    {
        Form2 diagForm = new Form2(){ Owner = this };
        diagForm .showDialog();
        diagForm .Dispose();
    }
}

If you check the Owner in the diagForm constructor it will be null, but if you check it in the onLoad event it will be form1
