    Open same Form 2 Times

    I am trying to use a button to open 2 instances of the same Form wich meens that two windows/Forms actully will open of the same Form.

    I have created 2 instances like this where I try to open 2 at the same time with the button2_Click_3 below but I cant figure out what I could be doing wrong.

    What happens is that, First form21instance do opens and then when I close this instance, form22instance is opened.
    What I want is that the Form opens twice.
    Any idéas what this could depend on ?


    Code:
    public ref class Form3 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form
    {
    	private: Form2 form21instance;
    	private: Form2 form22instance;
    }
    
    private: System::Void button2_Click_3(System::Object^  sender, System::EventArgs^  e) 
     {
    	 this->form21instance.ShowDialog();
    	 this->form22instance.ShowDialog();
     }

    ShowDialog() opens the form as a modal (<--- there's your problem) dialog. Try calling Show() instead.
