vb.net modal form

[Chris Thunell]

I have a form with information on it, when a button is clicked, another form
is opened with the following code:
Dim myForm As New ReqVendorSelect
myForm.Visible = True

Once i'm done manipulating some data on the 2nd form, the 2nd form is closed
and the original form is now visible. Is there anyway for the original form
to know when the newly created form is closed?

Is there a reason why you don't show the form modally? (as mentioned in the
subject line)

Dim myForm As New ReqVendorSelect
myForm.ShowDialog

Why is "Me" always used? I only use it with modeless Forms, and never with
modal Forms. I know the argument name, but I don't see a difference to
specifying no argument with modal Forms.

'Me' isn't necessary, you are right...

Hi Chiris,

My colleague has replied to you in microsoft.public.dotnet.general group.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your post. I agree with Armin and strongly recommend you use
ShowDialog to display the form modally. In addition, the original form is
able to be notified when the newly created form is closed in the Closed
event handler of the new form. Please refer to the following code snippet:

'------------------------code snippet---------------------------
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Dim WithEvents myForm As New ReqVendorSelect

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
myForm.Visible = True
End Sub

Private Sub myForm_Closed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles myForm.Closed
MsgBox("myForm closed")
End Sub
End Class
'--------------------------end of------------------------------------

Hope this helps.

I read the docs now, but it doesn't tell me anything new: "...is the owner
of the modal Form...". Yeah, I know this already, but what does it cause? I
know that specifying the owner form for a modeless form makes the form
minimize/restore automatically whenever the owner is minimized/restored, and
it also show the owned form always on top of the owner form, but a modal
form is also always on top of the owning form, so I don't see a reason for
this argument. Only a thought.
