Do somethong after ShowDialog

[wallaceoc80]

Hi,

I have a form that I am showing using the ShowDialog method. However, I want to acess the value of one of the selectors on the form after I call the ShowDialog but I can't.

Is there any event that I can use that is fired by the ShowDialog or is there any other way I can use to get at teh value I need?

Thanks,

Wallace

ShowDialog is going to block execution until the user closes the form. If you need to do some background processing, you could try raising an event somewhere appropriate to respond to user input on the dialog form.

Or you could use delegates. Create a delegate for the ShowDialog and use BeginInvoke/EndInvoke in order to asynchronously show the dialog.

What exactly are you trying to do? You can access all values on the form after creating a new instance and then showing it. After the dialog has closed you can still access all (changed) values untill you dispose it...
