Minimize Windows Form

Question

Hi I have a windows application which has a main form and on top of it i have a modal form. i want to minimize both the forms at one shot. Can anyone provide me details on doing the same. Thanks

In .NET if you are using windows forms The main form should automatically minimize when you launch the modal dialog (using ShowDialog) and choose minimize. Below is my test code where TestDialog is simply another Windows Form. -Mike namespace TestModal2 { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1 () { InitializeComponent (); } private void button1_Click ( object sender  EventArgs e ) { TestDialog dlg = new TestDialog (); dlg . ShowDialog (); } } }
