2 forms?

Hi there people,
I am a newbie in VB.net attempting to create a mobile application but am having difficulties trying refresh a page with values.

Case scenario:

2 forms A & B.
In within form A - there is a NEXT button. When a user clicks on it, it will bring the user to Form B.

Vice versa, on form B as well there is a BACK button to bring the user back to Form A. What I am trying to achieve here is that, when user clicks NEXT button (Form A) it brings user to Form B and executes whatever code you have in Form B but if the user clicks on back button to Form A; the code would not execute the 2nd time the user click on the NEXT button.

My code is rather or should i say very simple.

CODE in Form A:
frmB.show()
me.hide()

CODE in Form B:
frmA.show()
me.hide()

But I don't think the showing and hiding is doing the job. Is there a line of code to help me to perform the calculations again in Form B everytime I click on the NEXT button in Form A?

Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Showing and hiding does do the job.
But I should change your code into this:

CODE in Form A:

Code:

---

Dim frmB As New Form2
frmB.show()
me.hide()

---

CODE in Form B:

Code:

---

Dim frmA As New Form1
frmA.show()
me.hide()

Wkr,

As long as you do not have code tied to the _click event for the back button then no code should be executed except for the hiding and showing of the individual forms.

Sorry for butting in, but sparrow1, if the forms are already named frmA and frmB, what would the point of "Dim frmA" etc?

Dim'ing the form creates an instance of the form in memory and assigns it an address to the object variable.

Hi,

I've tested in VB.net 2003 and then you need to declare the forms because you need a Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.

Hope it helps,
