Re-Initialization Problem

[wangj]

Hello I'm a beginner in VB.net and a problem came up while I was transferring between Forms:

I'm currently making a program that lets the user practice their times table. Before going into the practice form I popup a form called "Form3" that lets the user select which times table number they want to practise. After they pressed a button I use me.hide and form2.show (Form2 = the question form)
The first transition between the forms works well.
After they’ve answered a series of 12 questions I’ll display their score and then ask them if they want to restart/reload.
After the user pressed yes the following happens (Which is where the trouble came from)

If response = vbYes Then
reload()
Me.Hide()
Form3.Show()
Else
Me.Hide()
Form1.Show()
End If

And the code for reload():

Dim Controls As ControlCollection = Me.Controls
Controls.Clear()
InitializeComponent()
Form2_Load(Me, Nothing)

So basically what I want to do is to refresh form2 and then switch to form3 to let the user choose a new number.
The problem I encountered was that after the user pressed a button in form3 and form2 appears, what form2 shows the user is the state of form2 before the message box appears.

So my question is: Is there a way of “Refreshing” form2 (ReInitialize all the variables)

hi wangj

Welcome to the forums.

You could instead of hiding the forms close them.

dim frmOpenThisOne as new Form1
frmOpenThisOne.Show()
Me.Close

You would have to make sure to set the project properties to close when last form closes, instead of the default.

Ok I'll try
