Adding a form from another project

[wes4dbt]

To start I already removed this form and created a new one, but I'm curious why this happened and what I did wrong.

1. I created a new project and copied several forms and files from an existing project using the "Add Existing Item" function.

2. I had one form that would show but had no data.

3. I call the form like this

    Private Sub mnuWaterUsers_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuWaterUsers.Click
        Dim frm As New frmUsers
        frm.Show()

    End Sub

4. I put a break point at "frmUsers_load"

5 . The from would show but never hit the break point. It did go to "frmUsers_Activated"

I'm sure I'm missing something but don't know what.

A form consists of 3 or more files, not 1. If you have Form1 then its user code will be in Form1.vb file, its non-user code will be in Form1.Designer.vb file and its resources will be in Form1.resx file. You should import all three of them.

I did import all three and rebuilt the project.

thanks for the reply

Does your Load event handler actually have a Handles clause with the form's Load event in it?

jmc,
Sorry I don't know how to test what your asking since I already deleted the original form. But in the code window this is where I placed the break point.

    Private Sub frmUsers_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load     <- this is where I put the break point
        'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'WaterTablesDataSet.Laterals' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
        Me.LateralsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.WaterTablesDataSet.Laterals)
        'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'WaterTablesDataSet.Crops' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
        Me.CropsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.WaterTablesDataSet.Crops)
        'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'DsUsersDataSet.GroupLotsForUsers' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
        Me.GroupLotsForUsersTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DsUsersDataSet.GroupLotsForUsers)
        'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'DsUsersDataSet.users' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
        Me.UsersTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DsUsersDataSet.users)
        'Load the ToolStrip LookUp ComboBox
        LoadUserLookUp()

        blnIsAddNew = False
        strUserId = ""
        Me.Show()
        Me.ToolStripId.Focus()

    End Sub

I should add that I deleted the "frmUsers_load" sub. Then I selected the "Load" event and inserted my code. Still did not stop at beak point.

It's not a problem, just didn't understand why this happened.
