myForm.ShowDialog(ARGUMENTS???)

is there a way to pass arguments in the showDialog function to a user created form?
also, can that form return a value somehow???

do you mean something like this????

VB Code:

'This goes on your dialog form
 
    Public Overloads Function ShowDialog(ByVal strFormTitle As String) As String
 
        Me.Text = strFormTitle
 
        MyBase.ShowDialog()
 
        Return TextBox1.Text
    End Function
 
'Place a Textbox named "TextBox1" on the dialog or use an existing control

VB Code:

'calling the form
 
Dim as New Form2 ' form2 in my case
 
Msgbox(x.ShowDialog("MyForm"))
