    you can use a form for this purpose and show the form as ShowDialog(). It will show the form as a dialog box.

  • Dinh Quang Son

    You can Right-click your project in the Solution Explorer and then select Add->New Item...->select Windows Form in the listbox and click the Ok button. Now you have a new Form in your porject. Edit the new form for your dialog, and then in the event of which you want to show this dialog to the user 1)create a new instance of the dialog form and 2) show the dialog by using ShowDialog() method.

    Hope this could be useful. :)

    its pretty simple. Just create a new form, design it any way you want, then when the user clicks on settings for example, show the form :

    FrmSettings theSettingsForm = new FrmSettings();

    theSettingsForm.ShowDialog();

    in the settings form, you will of course code to load/save the settings. The ShowDialog() prevents the user from focusing back on the other dialogs that are open in your app until this dialog is closed, it prevents code from behind from continuing to execute until the form is closed as its in a model mode

    Just dont want to create a new thread

    is it possible to change this code into individual code

    try
    {
    MenuItem m = sender as MenuItem;
    capture.RecFileMode = (DirectX.Capture.Capture.RecFileModeType)m.Index;
    this.txtFilename.Text = this.capture.Filename;
    switch(capture.RecFileMode)
    {
    case DirectX.Capture.Capture.RecFileModeType.Wmv:
    case DirectX.Capture.Capture.RecFileModeType.Wma:
    menuAsfFileFormat.Enabled = true;
    break;
    case DirectX.Capture.Capture.RecFileModeType.Avi:
    menuAsfFileFormat.Enabled = false;
    break;
    default:
    break;
    }

    so that my this.txtFilename.Text = this.capture.Filename; will be changed according to the button i click, let say AVI to .avi WMA to .wma and so on
