How to close parent form?

How to close parent form?

  Do you mean, how can you work with more than one form and only have one visible at a time You could create a Sub Main procedure and use that as your StartUp object. See: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/17k74w0c(en-US,VS.80).aspx

  Hope this helps,

  At last, I have changed the "Shudown mode" to "When last form closes" on "My project" and now this code is valid

  I know this, but then, how I can work with more than one form

  I forgot about Shutdown mode - that should work fine.

  Not sure I understand your second question - are you asking if "My.Forms.Form2.Show()" is the same as "My.Forms.Form2.Show" without the parentheses In VB 6 either would work, but I believe .NET requires the parentheses after a Method name.

  Or if you are asking if

  dim newform as new form2
  

  newform.show()
  

  me.close()

  is the same as

  my.forms.form2.show()

  me.close()

  they are equivalent - the "My" way is a shortcut that automatically declares a new form variable and shows it in a single step.

  Cool..... The default Way suggests that one must end with the start Proc(Form,etc) ....The other choice allows many starts and many ends..... Which is way more General and better in my humble opinion.............

  Ok, then it is a shortcut and I am not losing any functionality or something...
  
  Thank you for the patience with my "spanglish" (spanish - english) :P

  It's not clear what you are asking. In Visual Basic 2005, closing the startup form ends the application. No matter how you show the second form, calling Me.Close is going to close the parent form and end the app.
