use
vbCrLf instead of chr(13)
use shift and the arrow keys to size controls on the form.
use ctrl and arrow keys to move controls on the form.
gives you more control than using the mouse.
if you want to set a background color for a button you have to set it to graphical style.....
this isnt a tip but a question, how the hell do i set a graphical buttons forecolor ?
the frame control is pretty useless but it looks really good.
the timer doesnt count down, it counts to the milliseconds untill it is disabled, I found this out the hard way,
I was opening a url every 100 milliseconds, and I thought it counted down, It took me 5 mniutes, and 30 browser windows to stop the damn thing from going to the url.....
well thats all for now folks.....
