How can i show some form/dialog without declaring "new myForm()"
like the MessageBox form
ex:
MessageBox.Show("bla bla bla");

i want the same for my form:
myForm.Show();
 
Create a static method called Show inside the Form. Then inside the static
Show method create an instance of the Form can call it's ShowDialog method.
 
Hello,

if you want to use the same instance, declare it one time as a field.

ex :
public class mainForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
private System.Windows.Forms.MainMenu mainMenu1;
...
private newForm testForm = new newForm();
....

//everywhere in the code
testForm .Show();
....
}

Note : it is always the same instance.
