Mt hp giao thoi cn mt phng tin lin lc vi form gi n

trong mt hp giao thoi c hai buttons, OK v Cancel:
' VB6 code used for Dialog Boxes
Public Enum dialogAction

Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()

' Get here when user click the Cancel button
mAction = actionCancel

End Sub
Ch ta dng Enumerated type dialogAction. N c hai tr s:

actionOK v actionCancel. Property Action thuc loi enumerated type

Hide ci dialog box. Ci Giao thoi phi c du i (hidden) nhng

Gi d ta t tn cho hp giao thoi l frmDialog. gi mt hp

End Select
Unload Dialog ' Now we can unload the dialog box
C hai s thay i quan trng trong VB.NET, l dng ShowDialog v

ShowDialog thay v Show vbModal
Argument vbModal khng c h tr trong VB.NET. Thay vo , mt

form c th dng method ShowDialog. Di y l s so snh ca

VB6 code:

VB.NET code:
Dim Dialog As New frmDialog()

DialogResult
Trong VB.NET, khi mt form khi th bng method ShowDialog, n

d b sn mt property tn l DialogResult calling form c th truy

DialogResult c th mang mt trong nhng tr s enumerated sau y:
DialogResult.Abort
DialogResult.Cancel

C im rt tin l khi DialogResult c set cho mt tr s th dialog

Cch n gin nht set tr s cho DialogResult l assign mt tr s cho

biu din ShowDialog trong VB.NET, km theo y l m ngun ca

mt th d. Trong th d ny ta to mt form tn frmDialog c hai button

Bn c th chy chng trnh ri click button ShowDialog. Khi Dialog
