My Mistery on Forms

[matraca]

My question is that if i have two forms (Form1, Form2) in desgined mode and i add a button on form1 to open form2, on click event i have

dim frm as new form2
frm.showdialog(me)

That opens the form2, but if you look at the picture i attach below, even i can't close form1 until i'm done with form2, they both show up in the taskbar.

How can make form2 be part of the form1???

PS: i also have the inherits system.windows.forms.form ,still nothing


Can anyone shed some light here.

Set property ShowInTaskBar to False for that form.

even i can't close form1 until i'm done with form2.

That's the whole point of ShowDialog
