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

    • LG Electronics sees profit dip but boosts shareholder returns by Paul Hill LG Electronics (LGE) has reported consolidated sales of 20.74 trillion Korean Won (approximately $15.14 billion USD) and an operating profit of 639.4 billion Korean Won (approximately $466.75 million USD) for the second quarter of 2025. The firm saw both its revenue and operating profits decline year-over-year due to external factors such as US tariff policies, ongoing geopolitical issues in the Middle East, and a slowdown in consumer spending. While the company has faced challenges, the company is aiming for what it called qualitative growth by strengthening its subscription services, direct online sales, and business-to-business (B2B) segments. Key areas of growth for LGE include automotive electronics, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, and the webOS platform. The US tariffs are a major headache for companies around the world, given the size of the market there and President Trump's demands for bringing manufacturing to the States. To combat the rising US tariffs, LGE is trying to optimize global production and refine its market-specific approaches for premium and mass-market products. While the company’s profits dipped, it announced an interim dividend of 500 Korean Won (approximately $0.37 USD) per share for both common and preferred, with another payout later in the year that should take the total for 2025 to at least 1,000 Korean Won (approximately $0.73 USD). You must be holding the stock on August 8, 2025, to get the payout on August 22, 2025. The firm also said it will cancel 761,427 common treasury shares on July 31, 2025, making shares more scarce which could increase the value of remaining shares for investors. In terms of LGE’s various business divisions, things were mixed. Its Home Appliance Solution (HS) business achieved year-over-year sales growth, maintaining profitability, thanks to a dual strategy for premium and volume segments and growth in online sales and subscriptions. Its Media Entertainment Solution (MS) business experienced declines in sales and operating profits with the latter turning negative due to market uncertainties and stiff competition. Its Vehicle Solution (VS) business showed growth in sales and operating profit thanks to increased orders from European automotive makers. Finally, its Eco Solution (ES) business saw domestic sales increase, but overseas sales growth was limited due to US tariffs. This led to a slight year-over-year drop in operating profit due to higher costs. Image via Depositphotos.com
    • "Microsoft plans to remove the MSN feed..." Yaaay, finally the horrible dumpster fire of badly translated tabloid trash is going away! Good riddance! "...and replace it with Copilot Discover..." Oh ffs...
    • Similar to how Nvidia stopped caring about the consumer market a while ago and now just pays lip service to it because it prints money.
    • Yep same as every company, sadly. The biggest bank in Australia just laid off a bunch of staff even though they made record profits, then advertised the roles in India
