Hi,

No doubt there is an easy solution to this but after serveral hours and failing to find it why not ask the experts? I have a project that contains a meu form (DevExpress NavBar) which is populated from the database. So, I click on an item and I now have a form name which I want to open. Here's the hard part - I can't find any way to iterate through all the forms in my project and .Show the right one, i.e. I can find a forms collection (open forms I can see but not all the forms in my project). I'm just about ready to write a large Case statement to, e.g

Select Case FormName
 Case "Form1"
          My.Forms.Form1.Show()
 Case "Form2"
          My.Forms.Form2.Show()

but obviously I don't want to do that. What's the best way of doing things?

Cheers, Peter

I just went thru that in C# and GetType (that is used in VB) threw me off until Ben (Chase) came to rescue.

Ben (Chase),



Could you post a little code sample that shows how to do this if you want to pass values to a constructor of the form? This topic is in the category of "I get it until I have to code it...then I'm confused"
