Switching between forms using .Show

[britt13]

I am using .Show and .Hide to switch between multiple forms. This technique is not effective when you return to a form (using .Show) that contains data that has changed since you last .Showed the form, because the form does not display the latest changes. I need a better method of switching between forms that contain dynamic data, or a techneque for automatially refreshing a form since the load routine is skipped when .Showing a form.

Obviously you have to write your own code for RefreshControls, but you will already have this code in the Load event of the form.

Does this help?

Tris.

Private Sub Form1_VisibleChanged(ByVal sender As Object, _
                                       ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
                                                Handles MyBase.VisibleChanged
        If Visible Then
            RefreshControls()
        End If
    End Sub

That did the job quite nicely...just what I was looking for.

Thanks, Tris!
