How do I make another form run in an "about box" in visual basic if I click the "ok" button? I am using VB 2008 if that matters. I am making a pong game and I want to make an "about box" where the user can read the instructions for the game and click "ok" to play the game. Thank You!!

First, you create the form that will be the "About" form.

From there you have two choices: display the form as a modal or modeless form. Modal forms "block" the parent form until you dismiss them. That's usually how dialogs work. We'll run with this choice.

To show the about form as a modal dialog, you create the about form and call its ShowDialog() method.

Let's pretend you implemented the form and called it "AboutForm". This is what the code to create it and show it as a modal dialog looks like:
If you want that to happen in response to an OK button click, you put the code in that button's event handler.
