Hi there
Short question: How can I close the current form while the other opens at the same time?
The form which should be closed is called $form1
The form which should be open is called $form2.
the Button which opens form2 is called $form1button
What I did was unter $form1button_Klick {
###the action here####
form1.close () }
But this doesnt work
fyi there are more forms but the mainform is form1. What do I wrong?
Regards
Not ideal. Make an invisible parent form to 1 & 2. On the button click go back to the parent and execute code to open form 2.
Here is an example.

Hi
Thanks for that.
you mean like: form1.visible = $None in the button click?
I tried that but this does not work
The buttons to launch each form are on the main form. In each you call the form using the function name passing the main form as a parameter. Show-sub_psf $MainForm. In the load event of the subs you can now control the visibility of the main form on the load and closed events. If you want to go even further such as launching form2 from form1 you can use the same method and problematically click the form button with &$button1_click.
function Show-sub_psf
{
param($main)
$formForm1_Load={
$main.visible = $false
}
$formForm1_FormClosed=[System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventHandler]{
$main.visible = $true
}
