Help with Sonic Button Control

[vbfan007]

Hi, I have an activex button control created by SWJ Soft which says it can be dragged by the users at runtime by using Mouse and Shift key.

I want to know that how can I utilize this property to make my vb application remember its button positions for different users. Each and every user must be able to create their own custom form design according to their convenience at runtime and the application must open next time as for user.

You can download their demo control from the following site for free to test.

I would use an INI file to save this. But you can also use a standard text file...just save the top/left positions.

I went ahead and wrote an example of saving all control positions on the form and loading them back. All you need to do is add the module to your project, and call the Form_SavePos() routine to save all control positions, and Form_LoadPos() to load them all back next time.

This example uses a simple text file to store positions.

Just open the project, move the controls around, close it, and reopen it and they should be where they last were.

Similar to how the VB IDE works.

Thanks for your quick solution.

I have tested your form and it works perfectly.

I will try with the Sonic Button as well and let you know the progress.

Thanks again.
