So I have a form which creates another form and calls it using Form.ShowDialog(), however at some point during the run the new form disappears. I can tell it is still running as I set a timer which, when finished, shows a message box. The message box still shows after the allocated time but the form is no longer visible.
To call the form I have used this code:
Player currentUser = new Player(); //Player is a class I've created
private void Game(int PlayerCount)
{
Current.Hide();
for (int i = 0; i < PlayerCount; i++)
{
currentUser = GloVar.CurrentPlayers[i];
CashBuilder cb = new CashBuilder(currentUser);
cb.ShowDialog();
}
}
The form 'cb' shows and I can interact with it until I press a button. There is a method in the form to check is an answer (there are four buttons, one is correct) is correct.
private void IsCorrect(int i)
{
if (CorrectAnswer == i)
{
lblFeedback.Text = "Correct.";
AnsweredCorrectly++; //add to the answered correctly list
Timer2.Start(); //this timer is used to increment a value of money, it does not call on anything else and lasts 1.5 seconds.
}
else
{
lblFeedback.Text = correctAnswer;
}
QuestionsAnswered++; //add to questions answered
Generate_Question(); //bring a new question
}
The form SEEMS (I cannot clarify 100%) to stay visible if answers alternate between correct and incorrect. However if I answer correct then correct (or incorrect and incorrect) the form disappears.
I have a method for closing the form but this is not touched until the timer is up.
I have searched for about a week now to find a solution, tried multiple threads (got the threads to work but still encountered this problem), and I cannot think on anything else.
