I have a form toolbar with several buttons. Ex. one button is an "Exit"
button. I can't find any code for vb.net 2003 that will allow me to only
utilize only one button within the toolbar to close the form. If anyone can
provide a good source for vb.net 2003 code examples, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

All toolbar button clicks are routed through the toolbars ButtonClick event.
So you can hook an event handler into the ButtonClick event, check if the
reason this event was raised was due to a click on the Exit button
(tbtnExit, for example), and then close the form if necessary.

Private Sub ToolBar1_ButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs) Handles
ToolBar1.ButtonClick
If e.Button Is Me.tbtnExit Then
Me.Close()
End If
End Sub

Thanks,

I got it to work.

My next step is trying to the toolbar to open up different forms; however, I
am wanting to open the form2 within form1. This is similar to MS Word when
creating a new document. You have the main Word window then you are able to
create new documents within the main Word window. With you new docs you are
able minimize, maximize the doc itself without closing the main Word window.

I can get form2 to open using:

Dim frmAddAsset As New frmAddAsset

If e.Button.ImageIndex = 5 Then
MsgBox("Thanks for using my program")
Me.Close()

Else
If e.Button.ImageIndex = 0 Then
frmAddAsset.ShowDialog(Me)
End If

End If

But, I want the new form2 to open within form1

Please letme know,

Leo

I answered this question under your other post entitled "open windows form2
within windows form1".
