something missing myself

Hi, i'm created three frames "frame1", "frame2" and "frame3", and that put top together, for sampel "frame2" is top of "frame1" and "frame3" is top of "frame2".

i also created listview, and has three catagoreis "name1", "name2", "name3",

if i want to click nameone it will show "frame1", if i want to click name2 it will show "frame2" and hide rest of frames, and if I want to click name3, it will show 'frame3" and hide rest of frames.

but the problem is that every time i click name2 or name3 is not showing frame but works frame1, and i wrote code plesae take look. Any idea why!

If ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "General" Then
Frame1.Visible = True
Frame2.Visible = False
frame3.visible = false

Else If ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Security" Then
Frame1.Visible = False
Frame2.Visible = True
frame3.visible = False

elseIf ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Security" Then
Frame1.Visible = True
Frame2.Visible = False
frame3.visible = False


End If
End If
End sub

The last 2 are looking for the same string.... Is that code copy and pasted?

yes sorry is suppose to be

If ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "General" Then
Frame1.Visible = True
Frame2.Visible = False
frame3.visible = false

Else If ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Security" Then
Frame1.Visible = False
Frame2.Visible = True
frame3.visible = False

elseIf ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Backup" Then
Frame1.Visible = True
Frame2.Visible = False
frame3.visible = False


End If
End If
End sub


but still not working, wonder why! any idea!

"General" and "Backup" are both showing Frame1.

Well, for "Backup" you're showing frame1 again.... same as you are for "General" ....

The next question I have is what event are you using to run this code?


-tg

why the world I'm so monkey that im typing to fast ane end up into wrong code. the code is suppose to be

If ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "General" Then
Frame1.Visible = True
Frame2.Visible = False
frame3.visible = false

Else If ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Security" Then
Frame1.Visible = False
Frame2.Visible = True
frame3.visible = False

elseIf ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Backup" Then
Frame1.Visible = false
Frame2.Visible = False
frame3.visible = True

Any idea why!

or do i have to write zorder statments!

End If
End If
End sub

As tg said, we'd need to know what event you're using to run your code.

Also, that code can be simplified to:

VB Code:

Frame1.Visible = ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "General"
Frame2.Visible = ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Security"
Frame3.Visible = ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Backup"

____________________________________________________
Frame1.Visible = ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "General"
Frame2.Visible = ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Security"
Frame3.Visible = ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Backup"
_____________________________________________________


that have same problme again, One frame (General) overlay the other frame (Security), thired frame overlay the other frame (backup), so when user selected options (general) is works fine then i click "options" for security is not working, and if i click backup is works fine with frame.

so what went wrong with that!

That code was not meant to be a solution to your problem, just a shorter way of writing what you had posted in post #6.

You still haven't told us how you are calling that code. You should probably be using the Click event, is that what you're doing?

VB Code:

Private Sub ListView1_Click()
    Frame1.Visible = ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "General"
    Frame2.Visible = ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Security"
    Frame3.Visible = ListView1.SelectedItem.Text = "Backup"
End Sub

Here's an example:

I think the ItemClick event is a better choice over the Click event.

I've never really used a ListView, so I suspected there might have been something better :D

thanks for file, still not working one of mine, i enclosed my file and you see what the problme i have. I really appreication if anyone can help me what did i missed. and send file back so i can learn my mistake thanks.

The problem is that you've put the security frame inside the general frame and the user frame inside the back up frame.

thanks for reply, If you fixed that file, i apprication if you can send me back so i can learn myself becuase i still not sure where to put if not suppose to put inside of frame. thanks.

i don't have one of the controls you have so the project would be resaved with that control missing if i change it (i think). Here's what you do:

• Click on the security frame
• Press Ctrl + X
• Click on the form
• Press Ctrl + V
• Move the frame to where you want it

then repeat that for the user frame

thanks so much, you been helpful lots, can you tell me why we have to do this way by copy and paste over !

so i do have same problme with user, all i have to do copy and paste over right!

when you were drawing (or pasting) your frames you accidently drew some of them inside others. That means if the parent frame was not visible then neither was the frame within it, hence it not being shown when you set it's visible state to True.

Just make sure that you're always pasting controls into container you want them to be in. Frames & pictureboxes can be containers for controls as well as the form itself.

Don't forget to mark this thread resolved :thumb:

A Frame, as you probably know, is a container object. So one Frame can contain other controls... This is the problem you have... Your Frame is contained in another Frame instead of being contained directly on the Form.

So that is why you should cut and paste the frame, so it is contained on the Form instead of inside the other Frame. I hope this makes sense to you.

oh ok great thanks. last things is that if I want to put button or text filed to one of the frame, why is showing to all of frame! how can i do that to show one of frame rather then all frames!

I don't really understand. What do you mean by "why is it showing to all of frame"? If i put a control on one of the frames then it's only visible when that frame is visible

The controls that should go on a Frame must be "drawn" on the Frame and not on the Form.
