Recalling duplicate windows

Hey guys - I'm way out of practice here and I just wanted to make a quick little app, but totally forgot how to recall a duplicate window.

Can somebody give me a head start or a hint on how I go about making an array of forms and bringing up a specific one out of the array when I need? I wish the forms had indexes!

Thanks a bunch!

What do you mean by duplicate windows? :confused:

Here's one way:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim frm() As Form
Dim x As Integer
For x = 0 To 3
  ReDim Preserve frm(x)
  Set frm(x) = New Form2
  frm(x).Left = Form1.Left + (x * 20)
  frm(x).Show
Next x
End Sub

Forms(index).Show

I think indices work with that collection.

Thank you for the help...

Heres one issue:

Now that I have the forms created... If one closes, x changes. Example : If I have form1 in an array and I have frm1(1) frm(2) frm(3) frm(4), and I close frm(2), frm(1) remains the same and frm(3) becomes frm(2) and frm(4) becomes frm(3) etc.

Is there a way to keep the index from changing?
It makes it very difficult to recall a window if it's index isn't constant.

Thanks!

You could use the form().tag property to keep track of which is which.
Or else, you could use the form().caption if it is different.

Perfect!
Thanks!
