Question

I’m new to C# but working on a very large C# project. I am not the original author of any source code of the project. I have a form which I’m trying to hide after a button is pressed on the form. I tried both of the following:

this.Hide();

this.Visible = false;

Neither makes the form hide. I’m wondering what makes a form not to be hidden.

I’m using .NET Framework 3.5 and VS 2008 on Windows XP SP 3.

Answer 1

Both below ways should work. Not sure why you say this.Hide() not working. Make sure ‘this’ is the actual form that you want to hide.

  this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
  this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
  this.Visible = false;

or

this.Hide();
