Loop form start(check out # trick)(RESOLVED)

May I ask how does your program starts? Is it through Sub Main?

Private Sub Command1_Click
Unload Me
'call the procedure taht displays your message boxes or unload then load the form that display your message boxes....
End Sub

[Jacob Roman]

I could have suggested Sub Main() if there were to be just message boxes with the Form not being needed

To do this all you would need is just a module, and no Form. In that module, if you have a sub routine like this:

Option Explicit
 
Private Sub Main()
 
     'Example:
 
     Msgbox "Kool man!!!", vbExclamation
 
End Sub

Visual Basic automatically calls this sub when no form is present. Same holds true in C and C++

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{

    printf("Kool man!!!\n",);

    return 0; 

}

When I created the sub routine, and i put in the form_activate, I need MessageBox_Trick() to be equal to something?

[Jacob Roman]

Then make it a function so that it can return a value. Like for example:

Private Function MessageBox_Trick() As Long
 
    MsgBox "I'm Kool", vbExclamation
    MsgBox "I'm Awesome", vbExclamation
    MsgBox "I'm just freakin slick man", vbExclamation
 
    [b]MessageBox_Trick = 10[/b]
    
    If MsgBox("Again?!!", vbQuestion Or vbYesNo) = vbYes Then Call MessageBox_Trick
 
End Function
 
Private Sub Form_Activate()
 
     Print MessageBox_Trick
     
     'The output is 10 and will be viewed if vbNo is selected
 
End Sub

K thanks Jacob, I got it to work now. (The first time I got a form to work from advice of this forum )

Check out the Number trick

[Jacob Roman]

You may wanna fix a little something there. Open your Number Trick.vbp file with notepad and look for this line:

Form=..\..\..\..\DOCUME~1\Owner\Desktop\NUMBER~1.FRM

Change that line to this:

Form=NUMBER~1.FRM

Otherwise people who are trying to open your project will get an error message.

Nice beginner program. Let's step it up a notch. Try these two programs I made and uploaded in my site

The controls are these:

Mouse: Freelook
Arrow keys: moves sprite
Space: Fire (except in MKvsSF)
Numpad: Controls camera
F12: Snapshot
