I'm trying to create a Magento extension but I'm getting an issue when accessing a custom form for submitting a new entry. The grid for showing results works fine but clicking the add new button from the grid results in an error where it's looking for the form in the wrong place (not the extension directory). I'm obviously overlooking something but I have spend hours checking everthing. I really hope someone can help pinpoint this.

The error:

Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException): Invalid block type: Magento\Backend\Block\Adminhtml\Menu\Edit\Form
Exception #1 (ReflectionException): Class Magento\Backend\Block\Adminhtml\Menu\Edit\Form does not exist

Ok, I have come to learn that this method is deprecated and I should use the uiComponent for forms. I refactored the extension and it's working now.
