you have to have a cunstructor with no parameters add a public DarkRPReportForm() {}

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

i keep hearing about cunstructors but i have no idea what they are

ZacharyPatten•2y ago

constructors are special methods. the ones where the name of the method is the same as the name of the type

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

ZacharyPatten•2y ago

that is a constructor yes but you also need one that takes no parameters

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

so like that?

ZacharyPatten•2y ago

add InitializeComponent(); too inside the new constructor

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

is that it?

ZacharyPatten•2y ago

save it and try to add it to your form again

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

still get this

ZacharyPatten•2y ago

also, you generally shouldnt be putting forms inside of forms you should be making user controls

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

it is a user control

ZacharyPatten•2y ago

good 🙂 try rebuilding your code

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

i did and i cleaned it

ZacharyPatten•2y ago

okay well you still messed something up but it is hard to tell what without seeing it. can you share the full code? preferably via github repo link

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

i cant due to it having some personel stuff on it

ZacharyPatten•2y ago

understood, but that will make it harder for us to help are you sure the code is building without any errors?

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

ZacharyPatten•2y ago

sorry I am out of ideas at the moment without being able to see the full code and replicate the issue. when you run into issues like this, sometimes it is a good practice to strip things down into a smaller example that still replicates the issue. if you did that then you could share the stripped down version of code that is having the issue with us

Patrick•2y ago

@phoenixxeme is this for GMod DarkRP?

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

what told you that XD

PhoenixXemeOP•2y ago

@ZP ░▒▓█├■̶˾̶͞■┤█▓▒░ when i remove "this" and the "NotepadForm notepad" arg it works and lets me drag it
