Close all child forms

[Guest]

Hey, it's me again.
Is there a way to, when closing a form, close also all forms opened inside
this one? I'm not talking about MDI.
Let's say I create and open three forms in Form1. When I close Form1, and
he's not the main form of my app, I want to close all the three forms I
opened.
It would be nice to do that without a Form[] collection so I don't need to
iterate throut it.

Thanks.

You can use the "Owner" property of the forms that are created and set this
property to this (or Me) of the form that opened them.

// ... in Form1

Form2 f2 = new Form2();
f2.Owner = this;

Form3 f3 = new Form3();
f3.Owner = this;

f2.Show();
f3.Show();
