That's essentially what I'm doing, but I'm getting an odd display. I think it's a casting problem; I'm returning an int, and using a message box to display the selected value for testing purposes. I thought I could cast the int with either (char)int or (string)int, but apparently that doesn't work. The display has a cute little square box where the digit ought to be. When I get home tonight I'm planning to play with Convert.ToString() instead, though I can't see why it should work when the more basic methods don't work. It's not really essential, though, as the message box won't be part of the program. So long as the int is being returned correctly, I'm happy.

Just call .ToString() on the int object. That should do the job.

That worked very nicely - Thanks, again!
Of course, being an idiot I forgot the () at first and got the strangest error... Ah, well, it gave me time to suck down a starter beer and get my head out of work mode and into play mode.

I have a form that launches a dialog when the Add button is clicked. The dialog contains three radio buttons. The dialog has a local variable called "Choice" that is correctly set when the user clicks a radio button; I've verified that by displaying a MessageBox showing the value of Choice after each click. The parent form has a variable called EquipType that is intended to receive the value of Choice from the dialog when the user clicks OK. What I can't find is a way of getting that value back to the parent form. This must be too simple to justify an article or an entry in MSDN, as I've searched both extensively. Can someone show an old idiot how this simple process works?

2 ways
Create a property (Choice) on the dialog and instead of closing the dialog from the parent just hide it, have the parent then extract the choice from the dialog property.
You can also use a delegate do the cross referencing but I don't use it. There are some articles here somewhere. I beleive the delegate method is the more "elegant" way to do it.

Why not closing it? Whether you close it or just hide it, you can access the property on the form in both scenarios:
MyDialog dialog = new MyDialog();
dialog.ShowModal();
var someVariable = dialog.Choice;
-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-
no risk no funk

Badly worded, I should have said - instead of closing the dialog you should hide it and close if from the parent form after extracting the information.

NNONONONONONONnoonononononooooooo!
If you close it, the OBJECT that is the dialog STILL EXISTS as you (the mainform) still has a reference to it - so you can access any public methods or properties of the dialog object from the main form - even though the dialog box is no longer visible and has been closed.
ShowDialog() shows the form and waits until it is closed - so hiding it from the parent doesn't make sense - and hiding it from within the dialog itself is a waste of time, as you have to close it to return to the parent form - that's sort of the definition of a dialog!
IOW closed does NOT equal disposed.

If you're talking about a Session, like you see in an ASP.NET application, there's no such thing. Perhaps if you described what you're really trying to accomplish with this, we can help.

For positioning controls you can change the location property for each to swap sides of the form on which they appear. For simplicity, I'd just make two different forms, one for each language, but I'm still a dummy at this. It can probably be done just as easily at run time. To make the text run right-to-left, you can change the Right To Left property of the label and textbox, according to the label on the box here. I can't test that, since I don't know any other languages, but the containing form has properties to select the language and to enable localization. When I try Right To Left = True, all it does is align my English text with the right edge of the label. But I suspect that if I set the Form property Language to Arabic, and Localization to True, the result would be exactly what you seek. Give it a try.
I'd try it for you, but 1) it took me all day to make this dialog box look right and I don't want to mess with it, and 2) I wouldn't know by looking at it whether Arabic was RTL or LTR. 
Good luck!

Hi,
i want to display a WinHelp (.hlp) file within windows forms. If anyone know please help me.
Advance Thanks

WinHelp (.hlp) is deprecated with no future support planned in Windows, nor is there any support for it in the .NET Framework BCL. I highly suggest using .CHM instead (compiled HTML) instead. Google results for "vb.net help file[^]".

Thanks. but i didn't get any solution.
Please anybody help me to show a winhelp (.hlp) file within windows form in vb.net

In other words, if you try to learn this deprecated technology it will be of no use to you in the future. Everything as of right now uses the .chm file format which is not deprecated.

Yes, you did. Your BEST option is to convert this to a CHM file instead of using WinHelp. Windows 7 is going to be out late next year, and you guessed it, there's no support for WinHelp. So why are you insisting on using it?
