I am attempting to be able to show and hide a form called viewAllForm.
I declared an instance of the form in a module.
Public viewAllForm As New frmViewAll
However I keep getting runtime errors when I close and try and show it
again. What is the proper way to do this? I only want 1 open at a time.
They can cover it up and leave it open if they want. But whenever they
click to show it I want it to come to the surface and/or to load if it
is not loaded. I do not know the best way to do this in VB.NET. In VB6
I would just do a frm.Show
13  2241 
I have 2 solutions:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This way clears the form everytime.
Declare in the module:
Public viewAllForm As frmViewAll
' -- Everytime you want to show the form, create a new instance.
viewAllForm = New frmViewAll
' -- To hide it, close it.
viewAllForm.clo se
-------------------------------------- OR ---------------------------
This way you will still have information on the form. e.g. textboxes,
datagrids, etc.
Declare in Module:
Public viewAllForm As New frmViewAll
' -- Show the form
viewAllForm.Sho w
' -- Hide the form:
viewAllForm.hid e
Does this help? Let me know :).

The first method creates a new form each time. I only want ONE.
The second method is basically what I am doing and seems very unstable
for some reason. For example if it is already displayed and you show
again, then it seems like it causes a runtime error. Any ideas?

Are you using 'Form.Hide' to close the form?
The first way will show only one form. Since you close the form with
'Form.Close', you dispose the object (clear it form memory). That's why you
have to create a new form.

FWIW:
I have a similar issue. I want to show a modal form and then hide it each time the
user is through with the dialog. With a main form and a "empty" dialog form, the
Hide statement works as expected. However, when I add a few controls, some code, and
a third party control, "Hide" does not work properly. The third party control techs
tell me that it's a known bug with "Hide". So, at the moment I'm having to open a
new instance of the dialog each time it's called and will have to revisit this when
the service pack is released and see it the issue was resolved.

I tried this. But if I try and call show when a form is still open it
will crash. How can I tell if the form is open already?
