Visual Basics 6 Tutorial *making your form open other forms*
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2005 3:45 pm
This is my first tutorial with VB:
Purpose:
To teach you how to make your program open another form you have made with a command button
Ok lets start!
1.First make your form and name it whatever your little heart desires, add a caption, and so forth.
2. Create a Command Button and place it somewhere on the form, for the Command button edit the caption to "Open The Other Form":
3. Now its time to create a new form inside of the main form:
After you click Add Form a window will appear asking you what type of form you want to add. Under the tab "New" Click "Form" and then "Open"
After this, a new blank form will appear.
4. At this time you don't need to put anything on it because i'm not making a tutorial on making a program just how to open seperate forms, so you can leave the new form blank.
5. Name the NEW form "frmTwo" without the parenthesis.
6. Now go back to the main form by double clicking in the form panel:
7. Now double click on the command button you made with the caption "Open The Other Form" and type this:
Ok, right here frmTwo is the name of the second form you made (look back at step 5 if in doubt) the ".Show" procedure tells the program to do exactly that, SHOW frmTwo.
