opening new forms

Huyle

Hello, does anybody know how to open a new form, and close that form after a button is pressed? Thanks

A new form will be a new class instance, and these classes will typically inherit from GTPUMasterDialog. You would do something like the following in your button's click event handler, where "myClass" is your GTPUMasterDialog-based form class:

Dim myClassInstance as myClass

If myClassInstance Is Nothing Then
myClassInstance = New myClass
End If
myClassInstance.ShowMe(Me)

You can then enable the CancelItem on the MainMenu of your GTPUMasterDialog-based form and press that to close the form.

Subforms have to inherit from GTPUMasterDialog.  When loading the dll's into the system folder don't include the gtpu.dll for the sub form.  Use the ShowMe(this) method to invoke the subform in its parent form.  (in c#)
