copying form

I have a form in VB2008 with 3 panels, each containing panels. How can I copy the formatting to create similar forms to it?

You can either select all the control using Ctl+A and Paste in another form or Copy the initialize component and paste it another form

Thanks. Where do I find the initialize component? Please spell out. Thank you.

Open the

Code:

---

FormName.Designer.vb

---

and there you will see

Code:

---

Private Sub InitializeComponent()

---

Copy paste in the same location in the destination form

This might not be the path you want but if you are reusing stuff consider creating a template of the form. The wizard for this in the IDE is under file menu, export template, follow the steps.
