In your first version, Minimize1, change this:
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.WindowState=FormWindowState.Minimized;
}
OR
Get rid of the button and set "MinimizeBox" to true.
When you minimize a DialogBox, the parent form is automatically
minimized with it. You don't need to program that in. In other words,
you're trying to program in what already exists.

Miklos Trojak
test app, then hit the Minimize button of the dialog. You'll see why our
version is better :)
Anyway, our original question concerned why does minimizing a parent window
cancel its children.
