Button control to link two forms
 

i want a button to open a form called form2 but how do i do that. i know how to do so in VB6 but not in 2003 please help

Just call the 'Show' or 'ShowDialog' Method of the Form e.g.
Thats the code in c#, shouldn't be to hard to convert it in vb.

The difference between 'Show' and 'ShowDialog' is that 'ShowDialog' shows the called form modal. So you cant access the mainform as long as the called form isnt closed.

If you want to exchange data between the two forms you have to pass them in the constructor of 'Form2' or write some public properties.

thanks

that makes a new form, i want a form called form 2 to show up, it is alreeady made.

Not hard, is it?

that doesnt work

Well actually Ooble's 'Form2.Show' cant work as long as you havent a static/shared method in your class 'Form2' called 'Show'.

You have to call 'Show' from a created instance of the class 'Form2'. I think its in VB.NET something like this:

Is showing a form really this hard?

Apparently so. If the form has already been created, it should be easy. My dog could do it. And I don't even have a dog.

Hi,


In the Form1, write the code for the okbutton_click() event as shown below.

Private Sub okbutton_Click()
Load Form2
Form2.Caption="This is second form"
Form2.Show
End Sub
