Event 'form.move' --> this is tricky....

[Zonnix]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is an event which handles like a 'form.move'. I'd like to make one form 'dock' to another form, but

- I don't know when Form1 is moving/moved, so:
- I ALSO don't know when to move Form2 by code...

Does anyone has a solution to this problem?

Thanx in advance!

If you are docking forms you might want to look at the API for SetWindowPosition...then you just call your forms to their preordained positions.

Thanx, but I think this piece of code is not doing the thing I want. I'll explain:

I Have A Form, "Form1" with properties:
Width=1000
Left=2000

I have another Form, "Form2" with properties:
Width=1000
Left=Form1.left + form1.Width

Now, if I move "Form1", "Form2" aslo has to move!
But since there is no event on moving Form1, this isn't possible!!

Solution?

Anyone?

'form 1 code

Private Sub Form_Load()

    Dim x As Integer, y As Integer, _
    z As Integer
    
    x = 100
    y = 200
    z = 3000
    
    Form1.Width = z
    Form2.Width = z
    Form1.Left = y
    Form2.Left = (y + Form1.Width)
    Form1.Top = x
    Form2.Top = x
    
    
    Load Form2
    Form2.Show

End Sub

'form 2 code
'command button on form2

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Form1.Move (4000)
    Form2.Move (4000 + Form1.Width)
End Sub
