Hi!

I have read Beginning Visual Basic 2012, so you may say I know a little about Visual Basic. I have an simple application in mind, and for most of the questions I have the answers after reading this book. There is one thing I didn't understand.

All code examples referred to controls on the same Form (let's call it first page of the application).

If I want, for example, to have buttons on the first page (first form) with current time of some cities around the world, and when I click one of them to move on a dedicated form (let's call it second page), showing details for the respective city (to be mentioned here that I need this second page to have the same dimensions as the first one, so the user cannot feel the translation in both size and screen position), how to I implement this?

Thank you!

Showing an additional modal dialog is no big deal. All you have to do is add a new Form from the project->add menu and create an instance of it when you want to show it (typically in your button_click event procedures). This is a very rough implementation (not tested), assuming you have two forms named MasterForm and DetailForm added already at design time, write this code in the MasterForm:

Dim frmDetail as DetailForm

Private Sub Form_Load()
frmMaster.lblCity1.text = "New York"
frmMaster.lblCity2.text = "London"
frmMaster.lblCity3.text = "Paris"
frmMaster.lblCity4.text = "Munich"
End Sub

Private Sub lblCity1_Click(ByVal sender as Object, ByVal e as EventArgs)
frmDetail = New DetailForm()
frmDetail.txtCity = lblCity1.Text
frmDetail.txtTemperature = GetTemperature(lblCity1.Text)
frmDetail.txtCapital = GetCapital(lblCity1.Text)
frmDetail.ShowDialog()
End Sub

----------------
This is of course assuming that you already have the required labels and textboxes in the Master and DetailForms such as lblCity1, txtCapital, etc. and have also added the required methods to get the details such as GetCapital().
