C# one Form blocking another in a winform Project

blockingc++formswinforms

I have an application which uses 2 forms, a Main Form and a Splash Form being used in the following configuration:

public class MainForm : Form
{
    public MainForm()
    {
       SplashScreen splash = new SplashScreen();

       // configure Splash Screen
    }
}


public class SplashScreen
{
    public SplashScreen()
    {
       InitializeComponent();

       // perform initialization

       this.ShowDialog();
       this.BringToFront();
    }
}

NB: Main form is created with the following code:

Application.Run( new MainForm() );

The problem above is that the configuration of splash does not occur unless splash is closed with

splash.Close();

only when this occurs does the rest of the MainForm constructor run. how can I easily stop this blocking behaviour?

I already replied to you with a working example on the other question you asked for the same thing:

Html – How to disable browser autocomplete on web form field / input tags

Firefox 30 ignores autocomplete="off" for passwords, opting to prompt the user instead whether the password should be stored on the client. Note the following commentary from May 5, 2014:

The password manager always prompts if it wants to save a password. Passwords are not saved without permission from the user.

We are the third browser to implement this change, after IE and Chrome.

According to the Mozilla Developer Network documentation, the Boolean form element attribute autocomplete prevents form data from being cached in older browsers.

<input type="text" name="foo" autocomplete="off" />

JavaScript post request like a form submit

Dynamically create `<input>`s in a form and submit it

/**
 * sends a request to the specified url from a form. this will change the window location.
 * @param {string} path the path to send the post request to
 * @param {object} params the parameters to add to the url
 * @param {string} [method=post] the method to use on the form
 */

function post(path, params, method='post') {

  // The rest of this code assumes you are not using a library.
  // It can be made less verbose if you use one.
  const form = document.createElement('form');
  form.method = method;
  form.action = path;

  for (const key in params) {
    if (params.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
      const hiddenField = document.createElement('input');
      hiddenField.type = 'hidden';
      hiddenField.name = key;
      hiddenField.value = params[key];

      form.appendChild(hiddenField);
    }
  }

  document.body.appendChild(form);
  form.submit();
}

Example:

post('/contact/', {name: 'Johnny Bravo'});

EDIT: Since this has gotten upvoted so much, I'm guessing people will be copy-pasting this a lot. So I added the hasOwnProperty check to fix any inadvertent bugs.
