Hello. I'm clicking "Project", then "Add Module", then I add an about box to my project, BUT how can I make it so when I click a button it will load? I've tried copy and pasting the AboutBox1 code over the button click code, but no luck.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008.
Thank you to the people who help!

Make it a form and name it AboutForm, then add this in the button click method:
Code: Select all
AboutForm About = new AboutForm();
About.Show();

I did that, but it said that most of your code was not declared.

VB
Code: Select all
Dim f as New FormName
f.ShowDialog()
C#
Code: Select all
FormName f = new FormName();
f.ShowDialog();

C'mon Grimdoomer, pick up your game!

Actually, it is a method that is ran when an event is triggered...

Yes, but the actual click of the button is an event...
Oh wait, you mean like, the method is related to the button, and therefore the button click method...
Either way, you put that code within the Event, not within the method.
ahhh....
In either case,
Supermodder, pick up your game!

I think event handler is the word everyone's looking for.

But that's two words.

Wow. A lot of replies. Ok. I will use the fixed code Supermodder posted. Just one more question... How can I make it so my about box displays my own custom text? I type in text, but I run it, it displays the assembly information and not my custom text...

The click event is simply a method. All of you pick up your game

Look inside the AboutBox code...there should be a line declaring the label to use the assembly information. Just replace it with your own.

His code isn't fixed. It was fine as it was. He was trying to tell Grim that the click of a button is an event, not a method. Which, by the way, is why he bolded "event," in his "fixed code" post.

No...It is just a method which is called when an event is triggered... The event handler is what calls the specified method.
