Can you clarify which application you are using? Is it VB6 as the topic 'Visual Basic Classic' would suggest?
It would help to post your code.

If the screen is still frozen, have you tried opening Task Manager and using it to stop the application? If that doesn't help I suggest that you restart your computer.

The screen is ok,but I m still trying to make search between pages,I wellcome any help
ArkCommented:
Hmm.
>>each page contains same data table
>>search all pages,all data tables
Do you have 1 or 5 datatables? According your photo you have only one BindingSource. In this case code should be smth like this 
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Dim idx = Solina1BindingSource3.Find(YourStringColumnName, "Whatever1")
    'or Dim idx = Solina1BindingSource3.Find(YourIntegerColumnName, 5)
    If idx >-1 then Solina1BindingSource3.Position = idx
End Sub

Open in new window

Karolina,
It is better to send a screen capture instead of a photograph. You can get this on one of two ways.
You can put the picture into the Windows clipboard by pressing the PrintScrn button. Then you can open Windows Paint and paste into a new image.
Alternatively you can use the Windows Snipping tool. The allows you to select and copy only a part of the whole screen.

(I can't help with you particular problem as I am only a novice with VB.Net.)
ArkCommented:
1. Is there same criteria to search for each datatable or there are different criteria for each?
2. Are you binding data with bindingsource for each datatable?
Karolina SanovicAuthor Commented:
I would like to have search by keyword and to make search in all datatables.
My datatables have each bindingsource for it self ,Solina1BindingSource ....Solina1BindingSource5

Private Sub SearchData(searchColumn As String, searchValue As Object, ParamArray sources As BindingSource())
    For Each bs In sources
        Dim idx = bs.Find(searchColumn, searchValue)
        If idx > -1 Then bs.Position = idx
    Next
End Sub

Open in new window

Using:
SearchData("YourColumnName", TextBox1.Text, Solina1BindingSource, Solina2BindingSource, Solina3BindingSource ....
