I am trying to show a UI (WinForms) via result = new Form().ShowDialog(). The dialog pops up, works as expected but when i press Windows + D to tab away, the result immediately returns DialogResult.Cancel. Is there any way to keep the Form open when i am switching to desktop?
If there are any more questions or if it is unclear, please ask.
Best regards

Do you have a keyboard accelerator which is usingDin a Dialog's Button?

@Jimi No i don't, it is a basic Form with 2 buttons, one returningDialogResult.Canceland one returningDialogResult.OK

Well, since Win+D does not close any dialog, there's something that triggers the Cancel Button Click event (it could also be a System HotKey). Try setting theCancelButtonproperty of the Form to(none)and set theDialogResultin theButton.Clickevent, with:this.DialogResult = DialogResult.Cancel;. But keep it commented out, or set a BreakPoint there, and try again. Btw, you do know that an accelerator is defined by a letter prefixed by&. Not necessarily set on the Button.

@Jimi i tried your suggestion out but it does not work for me. the breakpoint is hit when i click on the button, but is not hit when i tab to my desktop but theDialogResultis still set somehow. I have looked at the HotKeys aswell, but could not find anything either. Guess it might not be possible then. Thank you for your help!

Since this happens, than it's possible :). If you have disabled the DialogResult related properties on the Form dialog (have you?), it's then triggered by the code the instanciate the Dialog. There's not enough code here to tell where/why.

I have not come up with a solution for this exact problem. Therefore, to workaround, I used Form.Show() instead of Form.ShowDialog() and referenced the DialogResult property of the Form, rather than the return value of Form.ShowDialog().
