2 forms moving together

Hello guys,

I would like to know, what should I do, to make 2 forms (that are not mdichild) to move together when I move on of them?

For example: Form A is beside Form B. If I move Form A, Form B will move together keeping itself beside Form A.

Thanks for your time,

Kaitem

use a timer... set its interval to 10

Form2.left = form1.left+form1.width
form2.top = form1.top
Doevents:doevents:doevents

isnt the best solutions but it works ;)

I added the lost and got focus because if you want to be able to move any of the forms and the other to move then you need to disable the timer.
In form1

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_GotFocus()
    Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Form2.Show
    Timer1.Interval = 1
    Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_LostFocus()
    Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Form2.Left = Me.Left - Me.Width
    Form2.Top = Me.Top
End Sub

In form 2:

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_GotFocus()
    Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
    Timer1.Interval = 1
    Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_LostFocus()
    Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Form1.Left = Me.Left + Me.Width
    Form1.Top = Me.Top
End Sub

You need to process WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING:

That we have multiple controls in a single project, in each of which windowproc is used, won't there be a problem?


For example, Label Plus has used this mode and we want to add some controls similar to it or have our own separate coding, is there a class that can manage this mode in the best way?

would be great if you could post a working example. tks

I asked a question and I think there is a class for this question, I don't have a lot of experience using this mode and I just want to know if this kind of problem might work better with a professional or advanced class.


Like you, I am waiting to see if there is a class example
