Hello
I have a simple two forms, one that contains a grid and a button. When I click the button, my application starts doing a long operation. While it is working, I show another form that contains a progress bar I open it like this:
_busyWindow.ShowDialog();
And defined
public partial class BusyWindow : DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraForm
{
public BusyWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void BusyWindow_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
{
this.Hide();
e.Cancel = true; // this cancels the close event.
}
}
When the operation is finished, I hide the form like this
if (ended)
_busyWindow.Hide();
It works fine. The problem is that when I close the second form (same closing code), it also closes fine but my main GUI loses the focus. For example, if I have the Firefox opened behind the application, then the Firefox gets the focus.
This only happens when I close the second form when the busyWindow has been opened, and no when it hasn't (ie, if I open the form, I close it without clicking on the button, then the main GUI doesn't lose the focus).
Do you know what is happening or where could I try to search?
