Hi all
Im not sure of the best way to be displaying my forms and just want a bit of
clarification. Being only recently moved to vb.net im still used to the old
vb6 form.show method, now under vb.net that doesnt seem to do alot most of
the time so far as i can tell. So im using form.showdialog all the time. But
it seems as though once i call this code, all control transfers to the open
form and only when closed the control returns to the original code and it
the proceeds. Im hoping im right so far and this doesnt sound really stupid
and wrong. So what im wondering is, is there a way to open a form and let it
run its code but to move on while the form is still open with the original
code ? Or is this not possilbe. Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi,
ShowDialog displays the form and waits until it is closed.
Show displays the form.
Not sure what you mean form.show doesnt seem to do alot most of
the time so far as i can tell.

Hi,
In VB6 you had:
frm.Show, frm.Show 0 or frm.Show vbModeless: this opens the form in a
modeless way.
frm.Show 1 or frm.Show vbModal: this opens the form in a modal way.
In VB.NET you have:
frm.Show: this opens the form in a modeless way.
frm.ShowDialog: this opens the form in a modal way.
So, if you were using frm.Show, you should use it instead of frm.ShowDialog
since you don´t want modal dialogs.

Hi Ken
Sorry, should have clarified that a bit further, meant to say when running
from inside a service program. Is there any special way to be using the
forms, im basically saying:
Dim myForm As New Form1
myForm.ShowDial og()
and if i were to use Show i just replace the ShowDialog() ?

Yes... But showing forms from within a service program is not recommended.
Instead, write a client/controller application that communicates with the
service over sockets, remoting or events and displays the GUI.

I want to create a kind of configuration window. So, I have a main window,

But, because it is a configuration window, I would like that window to be

How can I do that ?

Hi,
Thanks for help in advance!
In Form1, I "New" a Form2 and ShowDialog the Form2, it's OK.
My intention is passing a value from Form2 to Form1.
However, in Form2, I shouldn't "New" a Form1, 'cuz it will open a new Form1,
the new Form1 will get the value. And the original Form1 get nothing!
What do I need to do to let the ORIGINAL Form1 get the target value?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

I have a form which I want to show modally; it's a fairly old form
that's been ported up several versions of VB, and I'd like to keep its
rewriting to a minimum. Basically, it is used in this sequence:
1. The form is shown. The Form_Load event does some initialization.
2. Further parameters are passed to this form.
3. We actually need this form to be modal, so we hide it and show it
again modally.
4. Stuff happens on the form based...
