Question

I have 3 forms in my C# application — Form1, Form2 and Form3. Currently when my application starts it loads up Form1. I want all three forms to open on application startup.

I tried doing this in Program.cs:

static void Main()
{     
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Application.Run(new Form1());
    Application.Run(new Form2());
}

but Form2 only shows up after Form1 is closed.

How can I make all 3 forms show up simultaneously as soon as the application starts?

Answer 1

Start the other forms from the Form.Load event of Form1.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Form2 form2 = new Form2();
    form2.Show();
}
