Form Unload

[Joe Richardson]

Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with some variables not being reset
when a form is unloaded and then re-loaded. I have stepped through the unload
process, so I know the Form_Unload event fires, but when the form is re-loading
while the app is still running, several boolean variables keep their values.


I expected them to be re-set to False. I corrected the problem by setting
them to False on Load, but wanted to know what the root of the problem was.


Any help always appreciated.

I think you have declared your variables as 'static' or 'public'. that is
creating a problem for you.

if you are not satisfied, give me a mail. we will discuss

thank you

Unloading a form does not 'really' unload it's back-end code from memory.
Thus, variables will keep their values, etc, unless you re-initialize them
yourself, as you've noted. It's not really a 'bug', as it were (though I'm
at a loss as to why you'd want it to operate that way)...just the way things
are.

After the unload, if you set the form to nothing, the rest of the form
unloads.

Unloading a form only unloads it's "visible" components. Module-level variables
are unaffected. To get around this, simply Set the form to Nothing when
you're you're done using it.
