Restarting a program or Modal box without buttons in vbnet?

[crusson]

I am making a program which opens textfiles, initiates a bunch of variables and opens the file for editing.

I want to be able to close one text file and open another with the variables at their original settings.

I think it would be easier just to completely exit the program and reopen it, so I created another form which only contains the new() sub

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()
 
        'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        InitializeComponent()
 
        'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
        While Not bool
            Dim form1 As New Form1()
            bool = form1.ShowDialog()
        End While
    End Sub

I want form1 to be a modal form where the accept or reject is passed by a click in the file menu rather than through a button. Any ideas?

The other idea (easier) is to just restart the program with a me.restart() type command, but I don't know how to do that or what command i would use?

I can't believe that it would ever be considered good coding practice, but you can just "call" your form_load event.

Also, there *is* a Me.Restart() method! Who'da thunk it.
