Help With very basic operation of next button

[ellishnoo]

Hi there,
Please be kind, I have seen some posts where you tell people off for asking without investigating, Im sure most have, anyway I have.

Ive only been doin VB 2008 for 7 weeks, and have been told at college to make 5 statges/wizards of login forms, Ive done the design easy...

What I need help with is the next and back button,
after many,many,many,many hours of searchin I worked out next botton for a button in response to a list of checkboxes..

Private Sub gobttn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles gobttn.Click
        If exist_rad_bttn.Checked Then
            Form3.Visible = True
            Me.Hide()
        End If
        If nucus_rad_bttn.Checked Then
            Form2.Visible = True
            Me.Hide()
        End If
    End Sub

This works..not sure if its good VB language but anyway, constantly being told I am doin 10 lines instead of 2

I cant think of a way to code a button to goto the next form with, the button has nothing linked to it. I want to load the next or previous form, while closing the current form.

Do I use dim, do I use elsewith, I am trying every variation, please anyone, help me, I can do some cool things, but this basic operation has got me stumped, and guess as its sooooooo simple there is nothing about it anywhere.

Lastly it needs to be in VB.net

Many Many thanks for your time, and if anyone helps me.

This only happens if it is plainly obvious that the person has not attempted to put any effort into their project. It is quite obvious that you have tried the problem so you should have no worries about that sort of response.

A good place to start your research on a control is the MSDN Library. There you'll find articles and how-tos on all .NET controls including the Wizard Control.

@ellishnoo
You are doing too much work here.
You should have set up Steps within your ASPX code for the Wizard control...you do not need to have multiple forms in the page. The Wizard control will navigate through the steps you have set up with very little code.

This is a windows application yes?
You might consider designing all your forms (which you have done)
And instead of creating a Form2 and a Form3 and a Form4 (etc)
You would make an array of their base class Form.
You can add Form2 and Form3 (and others) to your Form array.

Then in your forward backward button code, you could tell it to show/hide the form from its index in that array.
That may sound confusing, but maybe I can explain better with some psuedo code:

Forward button:
if some checkbox THEN make myforms(3) be active
if some other checkbox THEN make myforms(4) be active

BackButton:
last form index was 2
make myforms(2) be active

>>blush<< I never considered this :P

Is there no "Wizard" control for windows applications?
