switch between forms on ironpython studio

Question

I'm new to IronPython, currently using ironpython studio, usually I like to program with Visual Basic or Delphi. My problem is that I don't know how to switch between forms by clicking a button, on Delphi you normaly write this code from a button on "form1":

procedure TMain.buttonClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
    form2.show;
end;

in VB you usually write almost the same thing, I'd like to know how to do this in Ironpython studio, I'd be grateful if somebody could help me, thanks!

You'd have to add a handler to the button's click event (like you would in C# and not like in VB) and show the other form. Refer to a C# tutorial for reference, it will be very similar in IronPython. Or better yet, try to learn about the differences between C#, IronPython, and VB and Delphi.

The button's Click event takes two parameters. As long as the function takes two parameters (not including the implicit self), you're set.

e.g.,

class MyForm(Form):
    def __init__(self):
        # create a form with a button
        button = Button()
        button.Text = 'Click Me'
        self.Controls.Add(button)

        # register the _button_click() method to the button's Click event
        button.Click += self._button_Click

    def _button_Click(self, sender, e):
        # do what you want to do
        Form2().Show() # create an instance of `Form2` and show it
