Floating Sub Form

[RobertLees]

Hi

Is this possible ?

I have built a treeview structure. I want my user to click on an item they see in this structure, and show more details about that item. Say, the date purchased, their location, etc. I could just put these details in a text field that is set with relevant info when they click. But can I get some sort of info box that pops up, at some place above the parent form. Doesn't matter where. They'd need to be able to move it out of the way if neceary, or close it.

Thanks
Robert

If your looking for a personalized small messaegbox, you can find many of them on PS code. I use the little bubble one that fades in and out displaying information over an item. Here would be an example one from ps code:

I would suggest creating a new form that has all of the fields that you want to display.

When a item is clicked on your treeview, code the call to the database that will return all of the information that you want to show, load the new form, and display that information in the appropriate places.

Call the other form like this:

Form1.Show , Me

It will always be on the top of the caller form but unlike a modal form, both the forms are enabled.
