Sending Data to the main form

[Guest waszer]

In my main form I have the following code to call up another form;

 

Private Sub mnuPerennials_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuPerennials.Click

Dim PerennialsForm As New frmPerennials()

PerennialsForm.ShowDialog()

End Sub

 

in the PerennialsForm is the following code

 

Private Sub btnAdd_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAdd.Click

Dim name As String = "warren"

Dim frmMain As New frmMain()

If chk1.Checked = True Then

frmMain.lstDisplay.Items.Add(name)

End If

Me.Close()

frmMain.Show()

End Sub

 

What I am trying to do is send a string back into the list box in the main form. With this code after the PerennialsForm closes, a new Main form opens, so now I have 2 main forms, but one of them has the String "Warren" in the list box. I have tried Me.Refresh() in the main form before the mnuPerennials_Click event ends (I take out the frmMain.Show()) thinking that all I need to do is refresh the main form, but the string is not there.
