About Box

Question

Hi there,

I want to add an About Box to my project, accessable from a MenuStrip via a "help" drop down.

I have created the About Box, but I cant seem to integrate it.

Ive tried a few different methods found in other threads, but I am always getting "Name form_load Is not declared"(thats just one example)  for the methods that I have tried.

VS 2005 in a VB Environment

Any ideas?

thanks fred.

Answer 1

how exactly have you created the "about box"? is it a new Windows form? or just a MessageBox?

Answer 2

Assuming your form is called frmAbout

you would put this in your menu item's onclick event

Dim AboutWindow as new frmAbout()

frmAbout.ShowDialog()

 

Hope this helps.
