Basically it is simple "operating system" emulation...windows are done using frames, and they can be resized, dragged/moved, minimised and closed...for the filesize, I think it's pretty good. The actual VB code is about 15k...and 12k of that is in the form.
Thanks to BushMobile, brucevde and WestConn1 for their help with certain aspects of this...I'm still new to certain parts of VB :-)
Feel free to use the code within your own programs, it's basically out there already but I just put it all together into this...the program (as a whole) is copyrighted to me, but as long as you don't just steal the whole thing and pretend it's yours I don't mind :-)
There *ARE* bugs in the code (try resizing a window to nothing), but this is only an early preview and about 2 or 3 days lazy work :-)
I love helping noobs with their VB problems (probably because, as an amateur programmer, I am only slightly better at VB than them :-)) but if you SERIOUSLY want to get help for free from a community such as VBForums, you have to first have a grounding (basic knowledge) in VB6, otherwise you're way too much work to help...You've got to give a little if you want to get help from us, in other words!
And we DON'T do your homework. If your tutor doesn't teach you enough to help you make the project without his or her help, FIND A BETTER TUTOR or try reading books on programming! We are happy to help with minor things regarding the project, but you have to understand the rest of it if you want our help to be useful.
