Form Operations in VB.NET

[Max]

I've done quiet a bit of VB programming using versions 5 and 6. Now I
finally got my hands on .NET and all I can say is "I am soooo lost".
Would appreciate it if you guys could help me out with some basic form
operations. I've already figured out how to load new forms and do all of
that, but now I have this problem...

I have a form that starts the program. From there I have a button which
creates a new form, shows it, and disables the first one. Now when the
second form is closed I need to re-enable the first form. How do I go
about doing that? While I'm at it, what else should I take a look at in
regard to differences in form operations between VB6 and VB.NET? I'll
probably run into some other problems later so it would be nice to know
it ahead of time. Thanks for your help.

This is mostly a pre-.Net group; most regulars here are unwilling/unable
to answer .Net questions. (I am at least as lost as you with VB.Net.)

Re: Form Operations in VB.NET

I solved the problem by opening the second form as dialog, like this

Private Sub button1_Click.. ......
Dim Form2 As New form2
Form2.ShowDialo g()
End Sub

When you exit the second form the first form will be enabled again
like nothing happend

Hope this helps
