pop-up boxes belonging to the same form [RESOLVED]

[Kasracer]

I have a child form, basic I want a find and replace message boxes to pop up. I created them as forms but it may be more trouble to swap variables and stuff from the 2 forms, so my question is... can you make a form that, when it calls the find form, it says "this belongs to me" so the variables between both are pretty much local to each other but not to any other forms?

you mean like this : ?
in Form1 :

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim frm2 As New Form2()
        Me.AddOwnedForm(frm2)
        frm2.Show()
    End Sub

in Form2 :

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim frm1 As Form1 = Me.Owner
        frm1.TextBox1.Text = "some text from another form!"
        '/// send some text back to Form1's TextBox.
    End Sub

Ok thanks! 1 More question though.. how would I make it so the find box would not allow me to click on anything else within the program until it's closed?

frm2.ShowDialog()

if you use ShowDialog , it prevents other forms being clicked , so if you made a find form that might help.
