How to minimize a form in C# after showing another?

Question

My question is if I open a new form like this:

   Admin inst = new Admin();
         inst.Show();
   Form1.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized; ///Doesn't work

How do I minimize the form I was on before opening the other one, without having to open another instance of Form1 ? If I use this.WindowState... it minimizes the whole program. IE: Form1

Answer 1

首先隐藏您的表单，然后显示“管理”表单。

Answer 2

this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized
//Show your form here

Answer 3
