...for me, my problem is that when i use the form 2.0 control, when i run my apps, there an error and the vb studio have to close....

Isn't that enough to be concerned? Or you're waiting until it shuts down the Windows?

Or shall we ask MS to issue a big messagebox stating
"DO NOT USE FORMS 2.0 LIBRARY! IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR VB6!".

i use form 2 also and never face any problem. i think you need to redownload the fm20.dll file and replace the old one. download the file from the link below...

hi nerd man,
if i download and replace the form20.dll, will it affect my ms office? since form 20.dll is part of the ms office component, will i have any problem when i replace the .dll?


i have many doubts on using form 2.0, hope u could help me with it.

how do you handle/have you encounter the following problem:
1) when using the frame, when u draw textbox or others, they will be behind the frame, what's ur solution?
2) if u have many frames and the frames are labelled using index, do u have any problem with it?
3) i have many form2.0 components in a frame, and i use tabindex to specific the starting component, but it is like not working at all. The starting component seems to be the textbox.

ah, its not a problem with your dll file so you dont need to replace the file. the problem is because they didn't made the component the way you want. this problem cannot be fixed and you will always have these problems. i believe there is no one who can fix that problem except. at form 2 you cannot bring the compt. front or send back by rightclicking on the components. but i like to know why you using form 2. is it because the listbox counter dont overflow when loading more then 32,767 lines? i only use form 2 just to over come the listbox counter overflow problem when loading more then 32 thousand entires.. but if you want to put a text box on the frame, then select the frame and then draw the text box on the frame. by that way you can make a textbox visible infront of the frame.

im usin form 2 as it can support unicode characters. i am displaying chinese and jap characters.

but if you want to put a text box on the frame, then select the frame and then draw the text box on the frame. by that way you can make a textbox visible infront of the frame.

how to do that? i select the frame and i draw the textbox, but it is still behind the frame.

how do u make a textbox visible infront of the frame?

thanks

Assuming that you can fix all your problems and that your app works perfectly for you, are you planning on other people using it?

[fang_eve]

this application is develop for other company usage. so i need to research on the stability of the components.

nerd-man,
i dont know if u have use form 2.0 frame. i have encounter this "bug/error"..

my scenario:
page1:a normal frame as a outer border. within the frame, i have 3 form2.0 Frame.
Page2:the frames are use as in page 1.
when i 1st enter the page, everything look ok, i click "next" to go to next page, everything is fine also. BUT when i click "previous" to go back to page 1. the outer frame(the normal frame), will have a caption displayed.

I did not set any caption for the outer frame. The caption will be there only if i click the "previous". and it only happens on the 1st page.

[Nerd-Man]

opps i apologize for my msitake. i just check the app where i use form2 and i found that i use frame from form2 but the textbox was not form2 textbox. i am not sure why you having the problem of caption when goto previous. but if you can post a screen shot of the problem then maybe someone from this forum can locate the problem. i did use form2 in one app. because the listbox counter dont overflow and the frame is cool too. anyway, please take some screen shot of the problem and post here. and also what code you use to goto previous frame? use Frame1.Visible = True and Frame2.Visible = False if both frames are in same form.

[fang_eve]

ok sure, but how do i attach the screen shot? haha, new to this forum also.
