I need a great logic for three forms

Israel

Hi!

I have three forms (frm1, frm2 and frm3).

The frm1 is the main form. I need when open the frm2, the frm1 should be always open (just because it's the main from one). When I finish to use the frm2 I can go to frm3 without seeing my frm1 be closed. But I would like when I close the frm2 then later the frm3. It's should be closed totally (not hide). But the frm1 still open (only close when I want).

See what I do try to do. But nothing. I went also to google... Many logic doesnt help me.

/////I open the frm2////////////// But the frm1 still open at the back

frm2 password = new frm2();

password.ShowDialog();

/////Later I click on a button to get in frm3. The frm2 should close totally////

frm3 finance = new frm3();

finance.ShowDialog();

This.Close()//This is for the form2. Then when I finish to use the form3 I can close and I need to see the main form (frm1) open.

Small think but I can not resolv it properly. Please I need help. Thank you.

Accepted answer
Still not clear, as per how much I understood from your query is:
The main form should remain open and further you want to open form2 and form3. Right?

Instead of using frm.ShowDialog() use frm.show(this), this refers to modal and modaless dialog boxes, ShowDialog() method keeps focus on the child form and do not allow to go back to the parent form without closing it but Show() function allows user to interact with the child and parent form both at the same time.

frm2 password = new frm2();
password.Show(this); // use this

Hope it helps

ok, may be you are refering on this sentense: can go to frm3 without seeing my frm1 be closed. May be I did write wrong. But I woukd like to say that even after to close frm2 and open frm3. The main form frm1 should be open at the back and can be closed only when I want. That all. This logic make me a little bit crazy becausr I do try in many ways. Nothing result.

Clarify your question. In the first sentence you are asking that form1 should remain open and after that it should closed. Elaborate your requirement properly so that we can suggest you the best possible way
