Opening a Form page by name and then close the current page form like this work:
oForm = ThisDatabaseDocument.FormDocuments.getByName("SecondForm")
oForm.Open
oFormC = ThisDatabaseDocument.FormDocuments.getByName("CurrentForm")
oFormC.Close
but is there a way to close oFormC without writing by hand his name?
trying with:
oFormC = Event.Source.Model.Parent
oFormC = ThisDatabaseDocument.FormDocuments.getByName(Event.Source.Model.Parent)
oFormC = getParent()
return an error of var not set
Can't find any help in documentation.

The term 'form' in LibreOffice/OpenOffice is confusing because it refers both to the entire document (typically a Writer file) and also to each group of form controls inside that document. So each form document can have many forms (meaning a group of controls) inside it, and forms (groups of controls) can have sub-forms.
This code gets a form document (a Writer file embedded inside a Base file):
oDoc = ThisDatabaseDocument.FormDocuments.getByName("SecondForm")
This code gets the form that is a group of controls and that contains the control which triggered the macro: oForm = Event.Source.Model.Parent
Another way to get a group of controls inside the form document in which the macro was triggered: oForm = ThisComponent.drawpage.forms.MainForm
Replace "MainForm" with your actual form name - form here meaning a group of controls. You can see the names of forms and subforms that are inside a form document by opening the Form Navigator window. Make sure the toolbar Form Design is visible; the Form Navigator icon is the sixth from the left or top, looks like a rectangle with a compass in the upper right corner.
You may have guessed from the previous code how to close the document that is active when the macro is triggered:
ThisComponent.close
