Multiple Form and Central Controller

[fvandal]

Hello Folks!

I'm currently developping a HMI to control a test bench
I need a multitab hmi that will have the power to activate the diverse form and that will fill the data on the screen
I was thinking to add a vb class to serve as my main controller. so i tried to change the startup form and i don't see my controller class.
I looked around and found that i can't use a vb class without having to comment a lot of things left and right.
Even when i was finally able to use my controller, i was not able to display the Welcome Form.

So here is what i was thinking.
What about i add another project in the Advanced HMI solution so that could be my central contoller and i call the AdvancedHMI for the graphic.
I'm using a couple of backgroundworker to use a CAN dll that i found online.
Do you think its a good idea? Can i do this in a simpler way?
I'm currently working on this and i will take any suggention

Have a nice day!

There are so many different ways of creating a working solution.

If your current design has issues then try using different approach, different controls.... etc

One of the controls you might consider is Tab control.

Hello again!

i already took a quick look to the Tab Control
i have not checked it for long
i will take a deeper look tomorrow
do you think that if i put 7 pages with a lot of control in the page the project will be able to handle it or will it just have poor perfo on a large Tab Control?
