[RESOLVED] If Statement Help

[balanj]

Hi, another dorky question from me.

Using VB 6

-------------------------------------

I would like to use an "If" statement to handle
the loading & showing of a form.

Something like:

Private Sub HandleForm()

Load Form1

If ***Form1 has completely loaded*** Then

Form1.Show

End Sub

-------------------------------------

I'm want to handle a form in this manner, because my program will be executing other stuff while Form1 is loading.

Thanks!!!

Hello!

Private Sub Form_Handle()
 
if form1.visible = true then
 
show form2
 
End Sub

Do you mean soming like that ! ?

Try this:

'start checking for "is loaded"
Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Do Until isLoaded("Form1") = True
        'do your thing
            DoEvents
    Loop
        Form1.Show
End Sub
 
'load it - Form1 should show after you click this
'and after Form1 is in the Forms collection
Private Sub Command2_Click()
    Load Form1
End Sub
 
Private Function isLoaded(frm As String) As Boolean
    Dim f As Form
        For Each f In Forms
            If f.Name = frm Then
                isLoaded = True
                    Exit Function
            End If
        Next
End Function

I'm a little confused about the statement.. as long as you don't have WindowState set as Minimized, it should show itself automatically...

Load FormName will not automatically show the form. Load only loads the form into memory it doesn't show it. You will have to call show to activate it.

If you use Load FormName, will it execute the code in the Form_Load event? (I'm thinking it will, just want to be sure.)

Yes... btw, is this so hard to try? You create 2 forms, add MsgBox "Can you see me?" in one's Form_Load event and load it from the other

Sorry gav, you're right; it wouldn't be hard to try if I was at the office where I have access to VB instead of at home where I don't.

Yeah, you should get some sleep...and I'm sure if I look at my posts a year from now I'll probably roll my eyes.
