Popup window in winforms

I have a window开发者_运维技巧s form application where I show information about products and product categories in a datagridview. I would like to create a popup window so when I right click on a product and choose add to category a popup window appears and in that I show all the categories in a dropdownbox and when I click a button the product add to the category.

I want to create a popup window with a dropdownbox and a button. How do I do that in a window form application?

You can create a regular form, and call the myPopupForm.ShowDialog() method. The ShowDialog method blocks the main form, so the user can select a category, upon which you Close() the popup window; execution will continue on the main form.

More information can be found on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c7ykbedk.aspx#Y800.

Form2 form = new Form2();

This method will be like the Message.Show method, but you can add Buttons, TextBoxes, etc. in the Designer tools.

form.ShowDialog();

This method will just bring up another form.

form.Show();

AddHandler Me.Click,AddressOf Me_Click

Private Sub Me_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
   Dim popupForm As PopupForm = New PopupForm()
   popupForm.Show(Me)
End Sub

You may get an exception window.Click continue-popup window will come.For further clicks get as many popups as you click Regards kvinvisibleguy
