I'll show you my code first:
Private Sub AddProductToolStripMenuItem_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles AddProductToolStripMenuItem.Click
Me.Enabled = False
Dim frmAddProduct As New FormAddProduct
frmAddProduct.Show()
frmAddProduct.Owner = Me
End Sub
That is my Main Form to call AddProduct form, and this is my FormClosing in AddProduct
Private Sub FormAddProduct_FormClosing(sender As Object, e As FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
ButtonReset.PerformClick()
Lock()
Me.Owner = Nothing
Me.Hide()
Dim frmMainIndex As New FormMainIndex
frmMainIndex.Enabled = True
End Sub
So I have set enabled = false in my main form when it call Add Product form, and enabled = true when I close my Add Product form, but enabled = true won't work.
When I close my Add Product, it's only hide Add Product form but not enabling main form, main form still not enabled. Is there something wrong with my code?
This line is your problem:
Dim frmMainIndex As New FormMainIndex
You are instantiating a new FormMainIndex
. Whenever you use the New
keyword you are creating a completely new and independant object. frmMainIndex
is a completely different form than the first one which opened your FormAddProduct
form.
Since you've set the FormAddProduct
's owner to your FormMainIndex
form, just set the owner's Enabled
property to True instead:
ButtonReset.PerformClick()
Lock()
Me.Owner.Enabled = True
Me.Owner = Nothing
Me.Hide()
Also, your Me.Hide()
call doesn't make any sense since your form is about to be closed.
