c # The bottom line is this. There are 2 forms in the application, one is the login form, the second where after the login information appears.

login form - loginForm info form - MainForm

With a successful login, the loginFrom closes and the MainForm starts.

//запуск главной формы MainForm mf = new MainForm(); //Закрытие и запуск this.Hide(); mf.ShowDialog();

in MainForm There are buttons to minimize the application to tray

 private void hideMenuStrip_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Normal) { //this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized; //если скрываем прогу, то скрываем везде кроме нотифи икон this.Visible = false; this.ShowInTaskbar = false; } }

But when you hide the MainForm program, it either closes or the loginForm opens. And I need it to be minimized.

Closes if I add to all the hide buttons below

 this.Dispose();

In general, the problem manifests itself in that when the MainForm is minimized, for some reason, the Load function is started in the loginForm

    Your mistake is that you are trying to squeeze all the logic into window event handlers. Try transferring authorization related logic to Program.cs. First show the dialog window using ShowDialog() , and then open the main application window.

     LoginForm loginDialog = new LoginForm(); if (loginDialog.ShowDialog(null) == DialogResult.OK) { Password = loginDialog.TextBox1.Text; } loginDialog.Dispose(); if (Password=="MyPassword") Application.Run();
