frmViewAll.DefInstance.Hide()I am attempting to be able to show and hide a form called viewAllForm.
I declared an instance of the form in a module. Public viewAllForm As New frmViewAll However I keep getting runtime errors when I close and try and show it again. What is the proper way to do this? I only want 1 open at a time. They can cover it up and leave it open if they want. But whenever they click to show it I want it to come to the surface and/or to load if it is not loaded. I do not know the best way to do this in VB.NET. In VB6 I would just do a frm.Show I have 2 solutions:
--------------------------------------------------------------------- This way clears the form everytime. Declare in the module: Public viewAllForm As frmViewAll ' -- Everytime you want to show the form, create a new instance. viewAllForm = New frmViewAll ' -- To hide it, close it. viewAllForm.close -------------------------------------- OR --------------------------- This way you will still have information on the form. e.g. textboxes, datagrids, etc. Declare in Module: Public viewAllForm As New frmViewAll ' -- Show the form viewAllForm.Show ' -- Hide the form: viewAllForm.hide Does this help? Let me know :). -- Show quoteHide quoteThiele Enterprises - The Power Is In Your Hands Now! <j***@jeffcomputers.com> wrote in message news:1161313254.482781.26060@k70g2000cwa.googlegroups.com... >I am attempting to be able to show and hide a form called viewAllForm. > I declared an instance of the form in a module. > Public viewAllForm As New frmViewAll > > However I keep getting runtime errors when I close and try and show it > again.

The second method is basically what I am doing and seems very unstable for some reason. For example if it is already displayed and you show again, then it seems like it causes a runtime error.

The first way will show only one form. Since you close the form with 'Form.Close', you dispose the object (clear it form memory). That's why you have to create a new form. -- Thiele Enterprises - The Power Is In Your Hands Now! -- <j***@jeffcomputers.com> wrote in message news:1161371445.551791.47180@m73g2000cwd.googlegroups.com...

the My.Application.OpenForms I tried everything from project name, to solution name and even tried without it and just start with Application.OpenForms but it did not work. What is My?

using? Also, is there anything wrong with .NET 2003, do I need to do any updates to make my code secure? I have heard some things about insecure code. Also, what do I need to do on the compile for public release? Anything special? Also, how do I make my software work on as old of framework as possible? And what DLLs and what websites should I point them to if they have trouble running my software? Thanks. Show quoteHide quote On Nov 3, 8:35 pm, "RobinS" <Rob...@NoSpam.yah.none> wrote: > Oops.

collection of open forms -- anyone else? I also can't answer your other q's for the same reason. This is the right forum to post them. Hopefully someone else can help. I don't know if there's anything "wrong" with .Net2003. I'm just moving from VB6 to .Net, so I started with the most current version. It has a lot of neat features not available in 2003. Micro$oft put a lot more effort into the Windows Forms aspect of the development tool. Apparently they thought SmartClient apps were going to go away, so they put all their effort into Web stuff for the earlier versions of .Net, but they realized they were mistaken and corrected themselves. Good luck; sorry I didn't have an answer for you.

In VB6 >I would just do a frm.Show I have a similar issue. I want to show a modal form and then hide it each time the user is through with the dialog. With a main form and a "empty" dialog form, the Hide statement works as expected. However, when I add a few controls, some code, and a third party control, "Hide" does not work properly. The third party control techs tell me that it's a known bug with "Hide". So, at the moment I'm having to open a new instance of the dialog each time it's called and will have to revisit this when the service pack is released and see it the issue was resolved. Gene OK, Sorry I was in a move, and had no WWW for a few weeks. To answer your
question. If you want to show another form, Just declare it new. Dim f1 as new FrmViewAll by declare it new, you are allocating the memory for this form. Open the form. f1.open Close the form. (clreas the memory) f1.close ------------------------------------ Also, You can try to alter the new statement to load the form with variables. Try this: Public sub new (info as string, i as integer) label1.text = info label2.text = i end sub Does this help? Try to email me. I may be able to help you. -- Thiele Enterprises - The Power Is In Your Hands Now! -- "gene kelley" <o***@by.me> wrote in message On 19 Oct 2006 20:00:54 -0700, j***@jeffcomputers.com wrote:news:ipkij2dsgttnspqd01v3qcv4q6idihr7h3@4ax.com... >I am attempting to be able to show and hide a form called viewAllForm.
