On Form Close

[Lanc1988]

On my main form i want it do do something when one of my other forms closes, my main form is called frmMain and my other form is called frmLookup

 

so is there a code that i can put on my main form to say something like when frmlookup closes do the following and it would do what i need it to do.

How is frmLookup created?

 

If modally via ShowDialog then you could dimension a Public Shared variable called Response As DialogResult in frmLookup's declaration section. When frmLookup closes set Response to DialogResult.Ok. Then from frmMain use:

 

Dim newLookup as New frmLookup

newLookup.ShowDialog

If newLookup.Response = DialogResult.Ok Then

'do your stuff here

End If

 

If you create frmLookup with .Show then you'll need to setup a delegate in frmLookup like

...in the declaration section of frmLookup:

Event ClosingForm()

 

When you close frmLookup call the delegate by raising the event:

Private Sub frmLookup_Closing(by Val........) Handles MyBase.Close

RaiseEvent ClosingForm()

End Sub

 

Then in frmMain finish the process with a sub to handle the delegate:

Private Sub frmLookupClosed Handles frmLookup.ClosingForm()

'do your stuff here

End Sub

 

I hope that gives you a few options to start with.
