is there a better way...

[Tym]

...of waiting for another form to close before continuning

frmDialog.Show()
While frmDialog.Visible = True
System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents()
End While

If its a modal form, you should instead use ShowDialog() to show the form.
Then check the return value of this method to determine whether Ok or Cancel
or any of other applicable buttons was pressed. You can get rid of the while
loop then. For instance, if you need to test for the Ok button, you would do
something like this:

If frmDialog.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
' do something..
End If


hope that helps..

Richard,

Why what Herfried shows does exactly the same as in the code from Tym, with
the difference that the computer is not for almost 90% busy with the
doevents.
