Make Parent Form stop when Child Form is loaded

[trinhtin]

How to make Parent Form wait when Child Form is loaded. When Child Form close, the Parent Form will continue its task.

I have 2 forms : Form1.cs, ChildForm.cs

Form1.cs :
.......
button1.click (....){
1// ChildForm cf = new ChildForm();
2// cf.Visible(true);
3// cf.doProcess();
}

When i click Button1 on Form1, ChildForm will display. However, the main thread is not stop its running, the cf.doProcess() in line3 continuously run while i want it waiting for i input something on ChildForm.

Any idea for this. Thanks

I had problems with this due to me being on a Linux machine, but what I think you want is a "Modal" window. You have to call the window in code, as modal. I'm not sure how you'd do that in C#, since I don't program with C#, but look around for modal window functions, that should be the way to do it something like:
[highlight=C#]Childform cf = new ChildForm();
cf.ShowModal();[/highlight]
You then perform all necessary calculations inside the modal window, giving it any information it needs before you show it, since a modal window won't return control to the parent window until it's done.

Thank you very much!

This solution is correct with my case.

In C# , we have a function
Form.ShowDialog() to do this thing.
