A real Newbie question about forms...

[Merlyn]

Sorry for this question I am sure it has come up a few times already bu anyway...

I am quite familiar with VB6 and have just install .Net.

All I am trying to do is close one form and open the next??

I seem to be able to open the next form ok but cant work out how to close the previous form behind it??

in VB6 this was simple eg:

Unload Me
Form2.Show

In .Net I have got as far as:

Public Class frmSplash
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Dim Test As Form

Private Sub pbxTitle01_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles pbxTitle01.Click


Test = New frmMainMenu()
Test.Show()

End Sub

End Class

But as soon as I try and use a "Close" it simply closes everything???

Can can someone point me in the right direction, sorry for the stupid question.


Regards

Merlyn

Hi,

I had a similar problem last week and it nearly drove me mad.

In my case the problem was the button I clicked on form1 had a DialogResult property of Cancel, and this seemed to close the first form.

When I deleted the button and recreated it from scratch, the form worked okay. Maybe this might help you.

Also, check this link in VB.Net help for more details on showing forms:
