Having a form send back a DialogResult value

Having a form send back a DialogResult value.

Is that possible? If so, how do you do it?

I'll tell you what I am doing so that you understand better. I have a tab control that is password protected by another password form that pops up. If the password is correct I want to send back "access" if it is not correct I want to send back "noaccess".

Provided you've shown the form with the ShowDialog method, you can just set DialogResult from within the popup form. I suggest you use Ok and Cancel for your access and noaccess values, respectively.

Ok, I have it set up. But no matter what I get the result "Cancel" returned because I need to close the form with this.Close().

Even when I use Dispose I get the same thing.

			if((int)e.KeyChar==(int)Keys.Enter)
			{
				string pass="";
				pass=CommunicationLog.aaa.GetValue("aaa").ToString().ToLower();

				if(pass==this.TB.Text.ToLower())
				{
	//CommunicationLog.Access=true;
					r=DialogResult.Yes;
					this.Dispose();
				}
				else {//MessageBox.Show("Access Denied");
					r=DialogResult.No; this.Dispose();}
			}

PassForm P=new PassForm();
				DialogResult r= P.ShowDialog();
				if(r==DialogResult.Yes) MessageBox.Show(r+"");
				else MessageBox.Show(r+"");

Ok, now I remember. DialogResult is a property, not a variable. It works now. Thank you very much.
