Do you mean dockable windows?

Look into this:
http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB...ar/article.asp
(Download the code from the link in the nav bar on the left of the page)

Its complicated, but its a lot easier than writing the code from scratch.

[noielen]

yes the dockable windows. i try to check, tnx bro!

[noielen]

but how can i find it? or the accelerator? how can i have on that so that i can edit/modify?

[eyeRmonkey]

You need to download the project from the link on the left of the page. Register the .OCX. You must also download the SSubTmr6.dll and the toolbar/rebar control (.OCX). Do a search on their website to find these. Then register all the DLLs and OCXs and add the component to your project.

i already download, but how to add it to the components of my project? check?

[eyeRmonkey]

Press "Ctrl+T" in VB.

Did you download the "SSubTmr6.dll" and the "vbalTbar6.ocx" and register them?

[noielen]

how to register? i already download in .zip file, i unziped both files, i will copy it to system32?

[noielen]

hey pls continue... help plz...

[eyeRmonkey]

Yes copy them to system 32 and double click them to register them.

Yes copy them to system 32 and double click them to register them.

Eh... you need to use regsvr32...

Start -> Run ->

regsvr32 dllname.dll

Selecting them through the Project/Components (or References as the case dictates) window will also register them right from the IDE.

That's the first I heard of that? Nobody has ever said that before. That is very useful if it's true.

[eyeRmonkey]

Eh... you need to use regsvr32...

Start -> Run ->

regsvr32 dllname.dll

In Windows XP if you double click a DLL or OCX it will be automatically registered.

[penagate]

Nope, not here...

[eyeRmonkey]

Really? Thats weird. Its works for me and I have heard others say the same (I think?). Maybe I have something weird installed?

Actually regsvr is just associated with those files. When you double click the file, it gets ShellExecuted with its default program (regsvr32.exe) and that automatically knows what to do.

More likely my computer is shot. I'm rebuilding and reinstalling everything very soon.

When you double-click a DLL or OCX in any Windows OS to date, you are prompted to choose a program to open with. If you choose regsvr32 for both, it will always register tham after that.

Also, I have an UnRegister .reg file you can import to your registry that gives you an UnRegister option if you right-click them. Save this to a file.REG:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\regsvr32.exe]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\regsvr32.exe\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\regsvr32.exe\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\regsvr32.exe\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\regsvr32.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\regsvr32.exe\shell\UnRegister]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\regsvr32.exe\shell\UnRegister\command]
@="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\regsvr32.exe\" \"-u \" \"%1\""
