Application.Run

Ryan Minor

Hi there When you execute Application.Run(new Form1()) the Application will display Form1 It doesn't seem to work if you execute something like Application.Run(getForm()) public static Form getForm() { Form Form1 = new Form(); return Form1; } assume that Form1 has controls and a proper constructor and InitializeComponent() method. The second invocation of Run does not seem to display the form. Is there something I am missing here?

Hi

No it will work, i seem you your code have some issues.

Here my code for you.

using System;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication4

{

    static class Program

    {

        ///

        /// The main entry point for the application.

        ///

        [STAThread]

        static void Main()

        {

            Application.EnableVisualStyles();

            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);

            Application.Run(GetForm());

        }

        private static Form GetForm()

        {

            return new Form2();

        }

    }

}

Thank you

well my friend the thing is that if you open a form outside the Main the Scope of the form that you created is in the Scope of the method you ran it in.

and this is why it doesnt work :-)
