[RESOLVED] How can i create an instance to my form?

[raghunadhs]

Hi All,
my application contains a MDI child form on which there will be some picture boxes.. . behind that picture boxes there will be some code also. assume this form as Form1.

there is a menu option called "new" on my Parent MDI form. suppose a user clicks "New" then a new form should be created(assume this new form as Form2), with the same controls on the old one(Form1)..

Now my question is ... Is it possible to create a new form "Form2" from "Form1" so that, the Form2 shold resemble as "form1" with the same controls and code...?.. (that means, is there any posibility to create an instance to my form1)

Thanks:

Hows this?
this shows an MDI form with form 1 and 2 - you can open new instances...This also shows how to pass data back to the 'instance' form.

(Compressed/zipped - using WINRAR....)

u can use when the new menu item is pressed

public form2 as form
set form2 = new form1 '(form1 must exist)

Hi,
Another thing is... suppose, afterdoing some modifications in form2, user should be able to save the form2 as his own name.. is it possible?

why i am asking is,through my application my user can be able to develope his own GUI at run time, by dragging and dropping some objects which were created by me. So in form1, i will place those objects(pictures), which will enable the user to drag and drop on the form at any where, and these contains click event also. based on the drag and drop objects(here in the case these are pictures), some actions will be performed. so after completion of every GUI, user can be able to save that form with his own name. and it should be attached to "project explorer"...

if you know how to do , kindly suggest me. if my question is not clear, kindly let me know that...
