Question

I have a form1 that I run with Application.Run.

I want to hide this form (I need it hidden because I run some things in the background, so they must execute) and open another form for a log-in.

The way I am trying this is by executing in my form1 constructor the command this.Hide(); and if log in is successful, show my form1, but it doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Just override the OnVisibleChanged method and change the visibility of the form in there, something like this:

protected override void OnVisibleChanged(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnVisibleChanged(e);
    this.Visible = false;
}

And that’s it! Simple and clean.
