So far, I have not been able to figure out how to attach a form to the menu item I created for it.
What am I missing?

Thanks,
Karen

A little more verbose would be nice. Windows app? Web app? What do you mean by "attach?"

Keep in mind that no one knows what you have in mind unless you [i]say[/] what you have in mind... It is really hard to do much with what you have said so far.

Brian, et al,
sorry,
I am new to Windows development and am not explaining things well.

I have multiple forms and need to be able to execute them from the menus that I created.

I also want to have a generic form that can be used to for multiple different tables for editing lookup values.
Creating the menus and the forms were the easy parts, hooking it all together is what I'm not sure how to accomplish.

I know it can be done, I just don't know enough VB to do it.

Karen

First, I'm assuming that you are designing a Windows Forms application.

Let's say that you have a form called frmTools created in your project and you want to run that form from your menu. In the section of the menu code that you want to open this form you might call it as follows:

'* Create a new instance of your form
dim frmTools as new frmTools

'* Load your form as a "Non-Modal" form.
frmTools.show

'* or

'* Load your form as a "Modal" form.
frmTools.ShowDialog

Using just "Show" will display the form "Non-Modal" (you can access other parts of your application while this form is displayed).

Using "ShowDialog" will display the form "Modal" (you cannot access any other part of your application until you close this form).

All of your menu items have a Click event associated with them so your method might look something like this:

VB:
Private Sub menuItem6_Click(ByVal Sender as Object, ByVal e as System.EventArgs)

End Sub

C#
private void menuItem6_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

}

From here is where you will call your other forms so something like this:

VB:
Private Sub menuItem6_Click(ByVal Sender as Object, ByVal e as System.EventArgs)
 Dim frm as New form2()
 frm.Show()
End Sub

C#
private void menuItem6_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    form2 frm = new form2();
        frm.Show();
}

Obviously form2 will be the name of the Form you are wanting to work with. In so far as your question about generic forms that handle multiple different secnarios I would suggest overloading your constructors so that you can know how the generic form should be set up so:

Dim frm as New form2(<value>)
Dim frm as New form2(<value>, <value>)
Dim frm as New form2(<value>, <value>, <value>)

etc.

Hope that helps
