VB navigation

[hygor]

Hi,

I am currently teaching myself VB.net as my dissertation project needs to be written in it!

My question is this. I currently have a number of forms (one being the main menu) when i click a button i want to open the corresponding form in the same window. However so far I have only managed to get it to open in a secondary window which I think looks unproffessional and takes away from the feeling that my program is one entity!

Does anyone know how to get it to do open in the same window or a similar effect? Its probably something very simple that I have over looked.

Thanks

Hygor

You need to create the main window as an MDI form and the forms that open in that forms as MDI child forms.

thanks for the tip... i partially have it working now though i am having trouble opening new windows in the parent form from another child form... hopefully i should be able to figure it out
