[RESOLVED] Visual Basic 2008 Doesnt save the CHANGES

[cary1234]

What im trying to do is everytime i put a check in listbox1 or listbox2 the button1 or button2 in form2 will be invisible, but im having problem because if i go back to form 1 then check again form2 the changes that i made didnt save!

FOR EXAMPLE

i checked hide button1 then pressed APPLY! then i go to form2 i will see only button2 (yes the code works great!) but when i pressed back then go back to form2 again the code didnt work.

Heres my code:

FORM 1

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        If CheckBox1.Checked = True Then
            Form2.Button1.Visible = False
        Else

            Form2.Button1.Visible = True
        End If

        If CheckBox2.Checked = True Then
            Form2.Button2.Visible = False
        Else
            Form2.Button2.Visible = True
        End If

    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Form2.Show()
        Me.Hide()
    End Sub
End Class

FORM 2

Public Class Form2

    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Form1.Show()
        Me.Close()
    End Sub
End Class

print screen

I try to change the code in form 2 to this

Public Class Form2

    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Form1.Show()
        Me.hide()
    End Sub
End Class

That makes perfect sense.

You are not saving the changes anywhere.

You need to save these changes off to an external source, then each time your program opens, it needs to read that source, and apply whatever has been last saved.

Thanks for the replies. I think i understand. Thanks for the links.
I watched this video on youtube and it helps me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGXH-Lsbuzo

Where can i find the application settings? When i go to Build then Build Application the application settings must be in the desktop(thats what i see in the video).
