This following line should be changed to reflect the names of your controls, RadioButton1 for example.

Dim ControlsToSave() As String = {"Chkbx", "RdoOne", "RdoTwo", "RdoThree"}

that makes sense

I get the same result:
Not saving the checkbox state.

This piece of code needs attention

Private Sub Form_close(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Leave
        Dim ControlsToSave() As String = {"Chkbx", "RdoOne", "RdoTwo", "RdoThree"}
 
        Dim ControlStatesFile = FileIO.FileSystem.OpenTextFileWriter("config.txt", False)
        For Each FormControl In Me.Controls
            If Array.LastIndexOf(ControlsToSave, FormControl.name) <> -1 Then
                ControlStatesFile.Write(FormControl.name.ToString + ":" + IIf(FormControl.checked, "True", "False") + vbNewLine)
            End If
        Next
        ControlStatesFile.Flush()
        ControlStatesFile.Close()
        End
    End Sub

As this event is triggered when the form close's, there is no need for the end command. You should move all code from this function to the vent handler for the button, etc that starts the exit procedure. Is the settings file generated in your debug environment?

That worked!
But when i click the close button, both forms close. I'll try to figure it out.

[-Fabez-]

Instead of using End, try using Me.Close(), it might make a difference.

[nsr1]

yup, now the "time" values won't go to form1 or form1 isn't seeing form2's checkbox is checked & you have to click the radio button twice to change the selection .
Never ends..hope you don't mind helping a dummy like me lol. I'll put your name in the credits

[-Fabez-]

Try closing the second form from the first form when the time values have been retrieved. This will require you to change Me.Close() to FormName.Close()

[nsr1]

when I try form2.close(), it says Error 1 'WindowsApplication1.Form2' cannot refer to itself through its default instance; use 'Me' instead.

[-Fabez-]

If the first form does not pass the time variable to the second form when it close's itself, remove the Me.Close() statement from the first form. Then in the function that retrieves the time variable, add FirstFormName.Close()

[nsr1]

Actually, i want the time variable to pass from form2 to form1. form2 is a options pop-up.

[-Fabez-]

The same principle applies, just add OtherFormName.Close() to the function on the first form.

[nsr1]

That doesn't work.
Here's the problem:
form1 doesn't see whether checkbox is checked or not & what radio button is checked.

[-Fabez-]

How do you know this ? Do you get an error or do the control names not appear in IntelliSense, etc ?

Form1 code:

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
WebBrowser1.Navigate("https://www.google.com/voice/m")

End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
WebBrowser1.Refresh()
End Sub


Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If Form2.CheckBox1.CheckState = 0 Then
Timer1.Enabled = False
ElseIf Form2.CheckBox1.CheckState = 1 Then
Timer1.Enabled = True
End If

Dim url As String = "https://www.google.com/voice/m?gse*"

Timer1.Interval = Form2.time

Try
If WebBrowser1.Url.ToString() Like url Or WebBrowser1.Url.ToString() Like "https://www.google.com/voice/m" Or _
WebBrowser1.Url.ToString() Like "https://www.google.com/voice/m/i/sms" Or _
WebBrowser1.Url.ToString() Like "https://www.google.com/voice/m/i/voicemail" Then
Timer1.Enabled = True
WebBrowser1.Refresh()
End If
Catch ex As Exception

End Try


End Sub


Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim F2StayOpen = New Form2()
F2StayOpen.ShowDialog()
End Sub

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate("https://www.google.com/voice/m")
End Sub
End Class

When I comment out If Form2.CheckBox1.CheckState = 0 Then
Timer1.Enabled = False
ElseIf Form2.CheckBox1.CheckState = 1 Then
Timer1.Enabled = True
End If, it will auto refresh every 10 seconds (default time) instead of the user-defined time.
