I'm working on a simple base form in which all the other forms in the project will inherit. This base form only adds 5 properties (at the moment) dealing with painting a gradient background. The problem I'm facing right now is when I change a property on Form1 (the test form) and click run it doesn't show that change. I also checked the .designer.vb file and when I make a change it's not added to the code behind file, I'm at a loss right now to why.

I am having trouble getting the Student Name entered in the Student Name Form to change the Text titles of the GroupBox's on the Main Form and Schedule Form. I understand the logic of what needs to be done to some extent, but I am having trouble coming up with the correct coding.
Below is a snippet of the Student Name Form code that I tried most recently just to see if I could get any change to happen to the other 2 Forms when the Accept Name button was clicked. As of yet, I cannot get a change to happen at all in the groupboxes of the other Forms.[code...]
In VB 2008, I have a Parent form with a combo box on it. There is a child form also with a combo box on it. I want to be able to change the values on the child form based on what the user selected from the main form. The user launches the child form from a toolbar on the Parent form. The following code is run:
[Code]...
What I want to do is if the Parent's combo box has "Red", "Blue", "Green" values and the user selects "Green", the child form's combo box(With the same values) will also change to "Green". (I do not need to change the Parent form if the child form changes.) I've tried changing the Child's combobox from the combobox's change event on the Parent form, and the code runs, but nothing changes on the child form.

I have one main form, and i want to dynamically change it's content, via pressing some buttons.Let's say i have a button "New user" and "Login", and if I press new user, i don't want to make new form + show, i want all labels and buttons of new user to be displayed right in the main form. And if i press login, the main form content to change to some labels and textboxes? All I can now, is just make new forms and show them to the user via .Show() command.
I have a RTB (RTB1). I have a "change font" button which allow the user to change the font of what ever text is selected in RTB1. It works just fine.Now I have added a second RTB on the same form. Of course that original "change font" button does not work because it works on RTB1, not RTB2. I know I could put a second button to change font in RTB2, but I would like a more elegant solution. How can I tell which RTB box I was in when i clicked on the "Change font" button?
Hey everyone, if Im using an instance of the same form 2 times, how can I change the text of the form? Ex: If I run the first instance of the form, it would say form1 in the top left hand corner... the other form, say form2?
What I can't figure out is how to change the title of a form. Meaning when it opens, at the top (title bar) it will say Form1 for example, how can that be changed?

I created a questionnaire in VB express 2010 but the output is half of a A4 paper.I think that the problem is with the size of the form.The size of the the form is width:720 (the width is ok) and the height:820 (this is the maximum number).How can I increase the size of the form?
How do you change the form look itself? like using a skin over your app so it dosent look like a normal app, for example, give it a skin to look like a cool mp3 player etc...
Is it possible to change the ForeColor of all the labels on a form at runtime, including the form which is yet to be called? So that all the labels have the same color throughout the app.
VBExpress 2010 .Net 4.0 I'm trying to have a form that you click on a button and it goes to a new page of the same size in the same location. An example of this type of thing would be the different pages of an install wizard. In this particular project, I have an "instructions" page that you click on that takes you to a new form. On this page is a "back" button that takes you back to the main screen. I'm just not sure how this type of thing is normally done. What I have done works, but you can see the page 'flip' a little, and the form button on the taskbar disappears and reappears as the new one loads.
[Code]...
and I have an equivalent subroutine on the other form to get back. At first I had the Three middle line of code interchanged, which looked much smoother, but for some reason it didn't work on the first click, upon which the form would suddenly move to the wrong location, after which it would work fine, no matter where I moved the form.
I have a feeling that this is probably done in a completely different way, but can't think of a better way of doing it. One way would be to just use one form and change the controls instead, but it would get quite cluttered.
i am making a small program just for fun. its a small form with six different buttons ( a text editor, a calculator, a music player, a button to change the layout of the form, a form that displays a bunch of links to websites i use, and a web browser, with a small text editor on the side, which is surprisingly useful) and i was wondering if you guys had any other ideas for some useful things i could add?
I am using VB2008 Express. After making changes to the position of controls on the form, the controls position reverts to the original position when the program is rebuilt and run. At first, there is no problem, but after 30 minutes working with the program, the problem begins. I am careful to keep all the files together. I am using XP Professional and .net 3.5
