Creating customized dialog boxes

[Vernware]

OK, I am really stuck. I have a form with a button. I click the button and I want to display a dialog box. I created the dialog box using the age old inheritance stuff. That is: public class MySpecialDialog : System.Windows.Forms.Form I customize the form to my hearts content. Glory be. How simple can this be? But when I try do instantiate this customized dialog: private WindowsForms.MySpecialDialog aDialog; aDialog = new MySpecialDialog(); and then show the dialog in the button click routine: aDialog.ShowDialog(); I get a form that is just a blank form. Could someone tell me what I am missing here? Thanks in advance, Vern

Is the dialog of type dialog? Also make sure the constructor calls the InitializeComponents method of the WYSIWYG part won't work right. Also ... if(aDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK){}... will let you use it.

Ennis: Thank you very much for your response. Calling InitializeComponenets in the constructor did the trick. I really appreciate your help. Vern

Also, for future reference, the VS Desiner will often drop events on accident. So if your controls ever stop responding to user events check the events list.

I do believe I know what your talking about. I remember working on a project where I know I had an event handler and one day it was just gone. Now I know it was not my imagination. Thanks again.
