Question

I know how to make a form at runtime and to add the controls to it and connect them to handlers… What I want to know is how to make the controls inside this form to react with their container form, for example to close it?

To make it more clear, when I want to close the startup-form by a button on it, I just add this code in the required handler:

Me.Close()

Then, what should I write instead of “Me” to close the runtime-created form?!

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Instead of Me, you use the variable that references the runtime-created form.

For instance:

Dim customform As New Form()
' add some controls here before showing the form
customform.Show()
' when you're done with the form
customform.Close()
