Enabling forms.

[techmanbd]

What I am trying to do is when I click a button, it pops up another form to add info, and at the same time i disable the main form. Now when I exit the info form i want to re-enable the form. I don't want to us the dim frmnew as new frmmain and the .show because that just pops up a new form. I want to keep the existing form in tact

 

Main form code:

Private Sub cmdAddname_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdAddname.Click

 

Dim frmName As New frmNames

frmName.Show()

Me.Enabled = False

 

End Sub

 

 

frmName code on exit:

 

Private Sub cmdExit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdExit.Click

 

frmMain.Enabled = True

Me.Close()

 

End Sub

You could pass a ref for the form to your now one and then re-enable it when you quit or use frmName.ShowDialog, this will disable the first form untill you close the new form
