mutipe pages?

• WII

  in vb 2005. im making a program that when you start it it has a window with just buttons in it. when you click one of the buttons the window will disply a new window. i need it to be just one window and not multiple windows when i cick the buttons on the first page

  Hi,

  I think this user is after using a Panel for controls instead of a new Form so that everything stays on one FORM or 'window' as Timmy0614 puts it.

  Unless you can have a child Form within a Form

  Like a child scrollable window within a HTML browser.

  Public Class Form1
  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  Dim f1 As New Form1
  f1.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.Manual
  f1.Location = Me.Location
  f1.Size = Me.Size
  f1.WindowState = Me.WindowState
  f1.Show()
  Me.Close()
  End Sub
  End Class
  
  Project + properties, Application tab, scroll down, Shutdown mode = "When last form closes".

  Try this:
  
  Public Class Form1
  Private mForm2 As Form2
  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  If mForm2 Is Nothing Then
  '--- Form doesn't yet exist, create a new one
  mForm2 = New Form2
  AddHandler mForm2.FormClosed, AddressOf Form2_Closed
  mForm2.Show(Me)
  End If
  mForm2.Focus()
  End Sub
  Private Sub Form2_Closed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FormClosedEventArgs)
  mForm2 = Nothing
  End Sub
  End Class

  Just close the existing one and create a new one:
  
  Public Class Form1
  Private mForm2 As Form2
  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
  If mForm2 IsNot Nothing Then mForm2.Close()
  mForm2 = New Form2
  AddHandler mForm2.FormClosed, AddressOf Form2_Closed
  mForm2.Show(Me)
  End Sub
  Private Sub Form2_Closed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FormClosedEventArgs)
  mForm2 = Nothing
  End Sub
  End Class
