Combo Box Selected Value changed event Gives Unhandleed exception.

's Computer Specifications

Hey All,
What we are trying to achieve is, when Selected value changed event is fired
for a combo box, then we are trying to close the current form and display the
new form. The forms are mdi child of a MDI form named as MasterForm.

The code being used to close the current form and open the new form is as
follows:

lForm = new TestForm
lForm.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent
lForm.Show()
Me.Close()

Problem is on Selected value changed event, we get an unhandled exception,
Object reference not set to an instance of Object. I debugged and found that
while closing the current form, its throwing the error.

Can anyone please suggest this behaviour, is it a known issue.

Thanks,

Vinay Kant

I don't know how you've declared lForm, but you should declare it as public
in your MDI form, then

CType(Me.MdiParent, MAINMDI).lForm = New TestForm

CType(Me.MdiParent, MAINMDI).lForm.Show()

Me.Close()

Altaf,
I used a Dim to declare that, i have event tried declaring it as public,
still the same problem. Code just breaks and takes me to the MDI Parent class
while debugging.
Problem persists. Any other suggestions.

Thanks,

I tried this out myself. Let me post all the code I used and you can
compare.

MDI Declarations, outside any sub:
Public f1 As Form1

Public f2 As Form2

MDI Load event:

f1 = New Form1

f1.MdiParent = Me

f1.Show()

In a button click event in form1,

CType(Me.MdiParent, MAINMDI).f2 = New Form2

CType(Me.MdiParent, MAINMDI).f2.MdiParent = Me.MdiParent

CType(Me.MdiParent, MAINMDI).f2.Show()

Me.Close()

Compare well?

Altaf,

It works fine with the Button click event, but doing the same on TextChanged
event of a combo box throws the error.
Can you please try that as well?

Thanks for your support,
Vinay Kant
