Closing Window

[stm]

Hi,

In on of my VB.NET form, it will display some customer information.
However, if the customer does not exist, I want to close the window itself.

I've tried to put Me.Close inside the form's Load, Activated, HandleCreated, but I always get an error!

What is the proper way to achieve this goal?

Thx a lot!

Me.Hide to hide it, or to unload it, I think you can use Unload Me, but I'm not sure if .NET has unload in it.

Hi,

I think I won't hide it, but just unload (close) it.
However, my problem is not how to close, but where to close!

Thx~

where did you put your checking in your customer information?

Fret is correct only display the form if the customers exists.

Hi, this is one of possible solutions:

private customerExist as boolean
 
    Private Sub Form_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        ' put your code for check if customer exist
        customerExist = CS_Exist()
    End Sub
 
    ' and when you call Customer form in application
    Dim frm As New FormCustomer
    if frm.customerExist then 
        frm.ShowDialog
    else
        MessageBox.Show("There is no customers !")
    end if
    frm.dispose()

I hope the answer to the stm's answer is this statement.

How about using Application.exit()

He doesn't want to close the application, simply the form which contains the details of the customer.
