so thats it I decided to move to VB.net, and currently im looking its feuters, seems nice BTW.
And to my question:
I created main form called frmMain and 3 severl forms frm1, frm2 and frm3.
On the main form i created 3 buttons which each one of them should open sec forms, now the question is cani use the forms like we used in VB6 thing calles group box?
what i need is to load forms onto the main form, can i, and how?

Well it isnt that simply, i mean to show other forms inside the main, like i said i got 4 forms, 3 simple forms, and one "Main",
i need to load into the main form, the other 3 like labels and syuff...
if u dont understand what i mean ill explain better with pictures.

You mean , MDI forms . If no , then I don't follow . I'd better to show some pictures if you have .
i created a multiple forms project.
and one form that used to be the main formwith the menu that connects all the other forms.
now till now i used to show and hide different forms one after the other, now i want to use my main form which has horizontal menu like my main form and all the other form swill load into him, and not insted him.
and yes i think it called mdi chiled.
If you have come from VB6, you will be fully aware of Parent/Child forms. There are some differences in .NET, all of which are advantageous.
You can, either in code or at design time,:
Set the MDIContainer property of form1 to True.
Set the MDIParent property of forms2 etc to form1. (Use "Me" if using code and referencing from form1)

The more I learn about VB.NET the more I like dBaseIII Plus

This is an extension of System.Windows.Forms.Form. you just inherit from Ezekiel.Windows.Forms.FormEx and construct your form with a key and you have a global ref to your form in Ezekiel.Windows.Forms.FormEx.Forms[key/index].......
Just run the exe and read the c# code code. sorry I don't really know VB.Net anymore. If some on asks I'll make a vb sample project. Put it's simple to use this.
This works perfectly and it's just like back in vb6 except your form is only global when you consruct it using a key.....
[RESOLVED]child forms and main forms....?
