Hello everyone

Is it possible to Load a Form using the Tag of a Button

ex. I have a Form "FrmCountrys" that had 3 button, I put a Corresponding Form each tag of the button

VB

BtnPhil.text = Philippines
BtnPhil.Tag = FrmPhil

BtnJapan.text = Japan
BtnPhil.Tag = FrmJapan

BtnAfghanistan.text = Afghanistan
BtnAfghanistan.Tag = FrmAfghanistan

On FrmCountrys

VB

Private Sub BtnCountrys(ByVal sender As System.Object,ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BtnPhil.Click,BtnJapan.Click,BtnAfghanistan.Clik
Dim Btn as Button = Ctype(sender,Button)
//Need some Idea panu ma call yung mga form sa pamamagitan ng Tag
End Sub

YOu need to do something like this, in the OnClick event for your buttons

VB

Private Sub ClickHandler(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim f as Form
f = Sender.tag
f.ShowDialog()
End Sub

Sorry I can't be more precise - don't have VB.Net in front of me and its been a while ...

I get some error "Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'."
Dim Btn as Button = Ctype(sender,Button)
f = Btn.Tag

Solution 2

If that's the error then it looks like your tag is a string (assuming the error is on the f=Btn.Tag line)

Is your FrmJapan etc. a Form?
