form dialog

Me.caption = "what ever the files are"

Can anyone tell me how to popup a dialog that will do the above in a dialog ?

Regards

Code:

---

MsgBox "Your Text Here"

---

is that what you mean?

No not really, i'm contiuosly copying separate files so it would need updated each time

You have to design your own dialog then, either as a simple form with borderstyle changed to something limiting, or by designing an activeX that operates a form on your command.

Whats the fragment code to do this please..?

If it isn't gsc1ugs. Back to copying questions again.

Make a new form, called for example "frmDialog". Set the borderstyle = 4 (fixed toolwindow)

Basically this is just a poxy little dialog box now. I don't know how you are copying your files, but this should give you a general idea.

Code:

---

frmDialog.Show
For Each FileBeingCopied
  frmDialog.Caption = FileBeingCopied.Name
  DoEvents
  copy (FileBeingCopied)
Next
Unload frmDialog

Bit simpler please VB a new thang too me

It s the centre of the dialog i wnat to change not the caption..

Right well make Form like i said in my last post and place a label in the middle. Call it lblMessage for now.

Code:

---

'show the dialog form
frmDialog.Show

'this is the loop where you are copying files.
For Each FileBeingCopied
  'show the name of the file being copied on the
  'frmDialog label.
  frmDialog.lblMessage.Caption = FileBeingCopied.Name
  DoEvents
  'how ever you copy your file.
  copy (FileBeingCopied)
Next

'unload the dialog Form
Unload frmDialog
