I have a main window which calls a sub screen. When the sub screen is done I
need to return to the main screen. In my file menu I have a return/exit
option. Can someone tell me how to code the return?? I know this works for
buttons but I do not know how to do this with a menuitem. Help

//
// btReturn
//
this.btReturn.DialogResult = ms.DialogResult.OK;
this.btReturn.Index = 2;
this.btReturn.Text = "&Return";
this.btReturn.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.btReturn_Click);

If the main screen is still visible, simply call the sub screen's 'Close'
method in the button's 'Click' event ('this.Close();').

Hello,
If you want the routine/method to continue from where it left (after
displaying the sub screen).. you can use Form's ShowDialog method.

something like:

if(subForm.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
//Do Something
else
//Do something else

HTH. :)
