Pop-Up a New Form?

[webdesign11]

Hey all,

What is the syntax for popping-up a form in Visual Basic 6.0, while keeping the window that popped up the new form open, although not in focus? Any responses are greatly appreciated.

Hi Steven,



formname.Show

Thanks, man. Now I have a new question. I have a form that I want to create a table in code, but I'm not sure how to code it.

The form asks the user for:

# of rows
# of columns
background color of table
border size in pixels
cellpadding
cellspacing

I already have everything worked out except for the part with the rows and columns textboxes. I want it to create code that complies with the # of rows and # of columns entered by the user. I know it must include a loop, but I'm not sure how to do it? How do I do it?

Hey there,



load form2
form2.show
unload form1


If you want to close the form. Its just a little extra to what diades said.

Ok what you would do here is use two for loops, Although I dont know how to print textboxs in VB. Ill show you by printing out a multiplication table.



'top of script
Dim Kount as Integer
Dim KOUNT as Integer

'Inside a call event.

For KOUNT = 1 To 10 step 1
For Kount = 1 to 10 step 1
lee = Kount * KOUNT
lblCaption.caption = lblCaption.caption & lee
Next
lblCaption.caption = lblCaption.caption & chr(13)
Next


That should print out it although it wont be very tidy. Thats how you could do yours. Hope it helps ya.

i know nothing has been added to this thread in a while,

if you want to align stings in a table you can use the object.currentX to align text along the horizontal axis or the object.currentY to align along the vertical

so for instance




form1.currentY=500
form1.currentX=1000
form1.print "RajsUtopia is the place to be!"

form1.currentY=500
form1.currentX=5000
form1.print "Thats **** True"


would give something looking like this

RajsUtopia is the Place to be! Thats **** True

This method would be the best bet to get a sort of table effect

ciao
