Hello All,

The Problem i am facing now is that i created a Basic Login form and hided the form if the ID and Password are correct
and showed the main control panel.
But when i close that control panel the process didn't ended so i showed the Login form but it doesn't show the same instance of the form that i hided before..
so how am i supposed to show the previously hidden Instance of Login Form From my Main Form.?

Code for Login Form

MessageBox.Show("Valid","Message");
                frmMain form = new frmMain();
                form.User = User1;
                form.Show();
                this.Hide();

Code for Main Form

private void frmMain_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
        {

            frmLogin form = new frmLogin();
            form.Show();
}

The problem is: you aren't talking about the same form.

You create a new form and show it instead of showing the old one. That way the old one is always going to be hidden while you just create and show new ones.

A possible solution (I'm not sure that this is the right way to do it) is to pass a pointer to the original form in the second ones constructor. That way you can always show the main form, because you have a pointer pointing to it.

You can always get the current instance of a running(or hidden) form by using this code...

frmLogin loginForm = Application.OpenForms["frmLogin"] as frmLogin
