[seanbee20]

not sure if is my verision nothing is there for maximise and minimise

See screenshot - should be in all versions of .NET

next question right the sub_form.close worked

i had set the main_form to invisible because when i am seeing the sub form i dont want to see the main form but when i am finish with sub form i want to se it again is there a way i can make it visible again i tried to institate main one and call it just like i did the sub form but that does'nt wrk

use the show / hide methods of the form

Example:

hiding main form:
frmMain.Hide

Showing sub form
fromSub.show

use the show / hide methods of the form

Example:

hiding main form:
frmMain.Hide

Showing sub form
fromSub.show

ok cool i think i get he idea of the show and hide method right but ?
letes say after i hide the main and show sub form right when i close the sub form will the main form automatically be shown or will it still be hidden and if so how will i be able to unhide the main form

i tried to do this by puting and and exit button on my sub form and tried to do this

p.s. {not to sure abut the bracket part just writing out of my head}

dim m_page as new main_page()

m_page.show()

but that is not working when i did the the sub form

sim s_form as new sub_form()

s_form.show()

that worked

[keroed1]

or maybe the problem is that i had made main visible attribrute to false

main.visible()=false

main.hide()
is that correct method that would have made it come back up when the sub form was closed

[keroed1]

oh when i get home going to try to take a screen shoot for u to see ok

You would need to set back the main form to visible=true.

Here is a good mini tutorial, hope it doesn't confuse you more.

I would do this in the exit button of the sub from thanks for the tutorial i will try when i get home
