[VB.NET] Child form use Parent form toolbar

[colordeficiency]

I've a toolbar setup on my Main.frm with a few buttons on the toolbar namely back anf forward. How do I use the back and forward buttons for my child form? When I press forward the child form has a forward text in the textbox. That simple? Anyone help?

I think I did not say properly.

What I need is:

Base.vb - With the toolbar and a few buttons

Form1.vb - The one, Main.

Form2.vb - When I click a button on a toolbar it opens this. With this open, i wans this to take over anything than is pressed on the toolbar.

I'm starting to get into this MDI stuff, and looked all over for some demo. :(

Errrr ok, well under the click event for the particular toolbar button, to show the Form2.vb

you instantiate a new instance and call Show or ShowDialog (for modal).

Dim frm2 as new Form2

frm.Show()

I have no idea what you mean by "i wans this to take over anything than is pressed on the toolbar."

Either you're too adopted to internet shortform, or you can't express yourself too well, maybe try showing us a screenshot with arrows pointing to what you want things to do.

Above you see the main form (as a mdi container) and it inherit the toolbar buttons from base.

Now I open up Customer (form.show with mdiparent set to main) with the toolbar still there. Can I now click the forward button to change the text of textbox1?

What he said. One instance of toolbar shared across all childform. Parent form inherits the toolbar from Base

Yes Yes! The Test menu is from Main right? And form2 is a new child form. Could the Test be switch to a Toolbar and test out?

Maybe zip up the whole project?
