buttons leading to same form help

[Kaneoku]

Ok i have 3 buttons and they all lead to the same form, which i want them to but the problem is that i want certain results to show up depending on which of the 3 buttons is clicked. i hope i explained well enough. thanks

Give your Results form an overloaded constructor that takes a parameter. Each of the buttons should pass in a different parameter. Your form should use the parameter to decide what results to show.

I found something at a website. Is this what i need to do?

Private _CallingForm as Object 
Public Sub New() 
        MyBase.New()
        InitializeComponent()
        End Sub
 
Public Sub New(ByRef CallingForm as Object) 'New Constructor Note the addition of a variable
        MyBase.New()
        InitializeComponent()
         'After initialization do this
         me._CallingForm = CallingForm
        End Sub

Constructors are a fairly fundamental part of object oriented programming. Read this explanation of their usage on the MSDN library: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...Guidelines.asp
