How do I prevent a form object from disposing on close?

Question

I am using an MDIParent Form. When I close its child, the object of the child disposes. Is there a way to set child visibility to false instead of disposing?

Answer 1

You can cancel the close event and hide instead.

private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
        this.Hide();
    }
