Hi,
I have a small GPS app that uses a single form, with 3 different functions that show and hide 3 seperate "windows" of controls/buttons. I did it this way instead of having to mess with loading different forms.

When the form loads, it processes anything I do with the initial buttons correctly. Then I click an OK button which calls the function to show the next "window". The next set of controls show up OK, but when I click one of the buttons to do something, I get no response.

Now I have put in message box lines of code to show if I reach certain points, but both a message box command and a text box "text" update line do not get triggered, even though they are the first lines of the btnRetest_Click sub.

Can anyone give me a guideline on what to try or do next.
I can post my code here if needed but I didn't want to dump it onto the screen without knowing if it was necessary.
I think it may be to do with my subs/functions not finishing correctly and hence the program cannot react the the next input, but I could be talking a lot of horse poopy here.

IMO... you're better off posting your code.. because its actually a policy here.. and it will be really easy for someone to help you if he could actually see that code immediately..

this might be the problem:
1. Your putting the code in the wrong button..
its better if you double click on the button and wait for the code window to pop up that way you are sure that the code goes inside the right button.

2. Unless your coding your own method/sub, let the IDE generate the method headers for you and don't modify it.

Did you set the *new window*'s Enabled property to True? This could have created a problem if you set the Visible property to True, so you could see it, but not enable the window, therefore not performing any actions.

mensahero:
you were right with the " let the IDE generate the method headers for you and don't modify it"
I have copied the buttons and code in from another form, but the button click was not associated with the code, so when I eventually double clicked the button in edit mode, I saw what was wrong.

And thnaks for the heads up on code posting.
thanks.

no problem.. glad to be of service..
