vb.net change toolbar from another form
I have a login box called frmlog and I want to have the user log in and if corret loginname and password then show a toolbar button that is invisible.
Now I have a mdiform and the frmlog is a child
so I tried this
under my ok button:
if text = "name" and pass = "Pass" then
dim mdiform as mdiform
mdiform.toolbar1.buttons.i
end if
I get an error
then I tried:
if text = "name" and pass = "Pass" then
dim mdiform as new mdiform
mdiform.toolbar1.buttons.i
end if
no error but nothing happens
what am I doing wrong????

The code for frmlog calling is
I have a toolbar that says Log.
The user clicks on log it runs this
dim frmlog as new frmlog
frmlog.mdiparent = me
frmlog.show
then under the ok button on the frmlog I tried your suggestions:
if text = "name" and pass = "Pass" then
Me.Parent.toolbar1.buttons
end if

nope, does nothing. I am a little lost though why would u use
dim f as form1. I don't even have a form1. I changed it to frmlog. but still got error.
Please try this:
Go to vb.net and create new project have two forms .
name the 1 form frmmdi and the other frmlog
now on the frmmdi add a toolbar and add a button with text= "Boy"
Now then go to the properties and select True for IsMdiContainer.
Now for frmlog go and add 1 textbox and a button.
Write this for the button
if textbox1 = "day" then
'this is the part where I need to change the toolbarbutton from Boy to Girl
end if
