C# – Check if Form is already running

Posted on by

To check if a form is already running you’ll have to look for it in the Application.OpenForms collection. When a form is opened it is added to that collection.

Here’s a boolean method that checks whether a form is open or not :

private bool CheckForm(Form form)
{
   foreach (Form f in Application.OpenForms)
       if (form == f)
          return true;

 return false;
}

Example use:

// if form2 is not running

if (!CheckForm(form2))
  {
      // do something
  }

Thanks.

I was working on an App and needed Drag & Drop support for it. I thought it’ll be complicated but its very easy. Here’s how its done:

For this tutorial I’ll be using a listBox. You can use any control but make sure you set the “AllowDrop” to “true“.

Checking what has been dragged

Select the listBox and add the DragEnter event.

Add this code:

private void listBox1_DragEnter(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs e)
 {

 // This will make sure that a file has been dropped and not text,folders or something else

 if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop, false))

 {

 // This will allow the files to be dragged into the control

 e.Effect = DragDropEffects.All;

 }

 }

The above code first makes sure that files are dragged and not text, folders etc; and then allows the files to be dragged into the control.
