Hey Everyone
I am having troubles. i tried looking up how to make the main for invisable but i cant figure out how. i saw some examples but they made no scence to me.
What i am trying to do is change from one form to another and hide the first one. Its basicly a calculator and when someone clicks on the advanced button it flicks to another form that has the advanced settings.
i am using VC++ 2010. I just cant figure this out. this is the code i got so far sorry for the lenght the main bulk of it is at the bottom and a few bits at the top making pointer etc.

}My idea was if its not posible to hide the main form i was wanting to make a new main for that did nothing. that would be hidden and just link to the form i userly have pop up first.
but i just cant figure out how to hide the main for. im not sure whats legal and whats not thats my problem lol.
so if someone could suggest a good way to handle this i would be very greatfull.
Kind Regards,
Jordan
