Hi,
you can show the main form at application startup:
in FrmMain_load subroutine, you can show FrmLogon, that overspreads
FrmMain.
In subroutine Logon_click, if the data are correctly been entered, you can
call FrmLogon.close().
The form will close and the control returns to FrmMain.
Otherwise, you can set a label text to represent error in data submission
with the string LblLogon.text = "error in login, try again" and leave the
form active.
Regards,
Germano

Subject: [program-l] windows forms in .net
Hi all,
Using vs 2003 and vb.net and had a few questions on windows forms.
I've read up quite a bit on this but wondering what is the best practise.
if I have frmLogon and frmMain I want to unload frmLogon and show frmMain
once the user supplies the correct criteria.
For example:
log on click
dim frm as frmMain
' user passed criteria
frmMain.Show()
End Sub
Some say to hide frmLogon and do not unload it.
Some say to place frmMain outside of the sub in frmLogon and make it
public to frmLogon.
Some say to create a reference to frmMain and frmLog on in the opposite
forms via a member variable.
Once at frmMain, this form will have around 15 forms that it will have
to show to the user and the user must interact with. What is the best way
to show/hide forms in vb.net? You have to create an instance of each
form, understood, but what about showing/hiding forms? Is it that you
show/hide it and never unload them from memory until the application
exits?
What is the best practise in this routine of things?
thanks!
Justin
