Hello i need help about hide and show form . Can anyone provide code to write for hide form and show other form thx you

Form1.Hide
Form2.Show

?

OK, this question seems a pretty simple at first instance, but there are lot many things which need to be considered while coding this part. There are several ways to solve this problem. One of simple way ways is to coding this on some event, like a button click on something like that:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Me.Hide()
        Form2.Show()
 End Sub

This is something which you can find it very easy. But you might also try adding the same codei the from1.load event. This code donst work as expected. Why?? Becase the form1 seems to the parent thread there and you cant close it or your cant hide .If close the form1 you are closing the whole project. You do a hide by just hiding it on to the system tray.

This is something which I did know already. Being said that I not windows programmer!

To show next form without hide previous form :

Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
    Dim Test As New Form4
    Test.Show()
End Sub

To show next form with hide previous form :

Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
    Dim Test As New Form4
    Test.Show()
    Me.Hide()
End Sub

To show next form with close previous form :

Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
    Dim Test As New Form4
    Test.Show()
    Me.Dispose(False)
End Sub
Private Sub Button4_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click   
  Dim Test As New Form4     
  Test.Show()   
  Me.Dispose(False)
End Sub

Wouldn this made the code system to be still running even after closing the form2??? Since the form1 has been disposed. For it i think it should disposed when you close the form2 but it dosn't, which is a problem!
