How to create VB form?

[bushmobile]

why did it crash? because you did something wrong.

is there an easier way? yes, using the IDE - that's the point of using VB, it's RAD

What, in your module, do you need to use that is related to your form?

Well I continue to search every solution while I haven't one that is satisfied me. I don't want to add another file for a form only to use it as a virgin one to support GDI+ operations. I want to create one dynamicaly. One solution is to make an instance of one existing, but I want a virgin one with no controls inside it (in reason of loading); I imagined that I could do a form object from VB librairies but it seems you can't do that easier than creating an instance of an common object !

I have some troubles of VB as soon as VB is reading the line with createwindowex api. I may did something wrong, I don't often use this particular api ; I only paste this part of code from a standard module to an object module. For me, I've respected all syntax. VB don't show debug dialog, and only Xp shows the standard stop application window.
I suppose that there's something wrong with getmodulehandle (in bold), and my feeling is that VB is overbooked or something like that in memory/handle operations... But how to run perfectly this code in my object module?

I post the function extracted from TheBigB's link :

Public Function WinCreate(winClassInfo As String, winAppInfo As String, ByRef winProcAddress As Long) As Boolean
  Dim hh As Long
  'store class name
  winClassName = winClassInfo
  'create class info
  With winClass
    .style = 0&
    .lpfnwndproc = winProcAddress
    .hInstance = App.hInstance
    'default icon
    .hIcon = LoadIconByNum(0&, IDI_APPLICATION)
    'arrow-style mouse cursor
    .hCursor = LoadCursorByNum(0&, IDC_ARROW)
    .hbrBackground = COLOR_WINDOW
    .lpszClassName = winClassName
    .lpszMenuName = vbNullString
    .cbClsextra = 0&
    .cbWndExtra2 = 0&
  End With
  'register our class
  winRegResult = RegisterClass(winClass)
  'ok?
  If Not winRegResult = 0 Then
    'create window
     WinHandle = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES, winClassName, winAppInfo, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0&, 0&, [B]GetModuleHandle(vbNullString)[/B], ByVal 0&)
    If Not WinHandle = 0 Then
      'show
    ''  ShowWindow winHandle, SW_SHOWNORMAL
      'bring to front
     '' SetForegroundWindow winHandle
      'refresh
    ''  UpdateWindow winHandle
      'done
      WinCreate = True
    Else
      'create failed
      WinCreate = False
    End If
  Else
    'can not register class
    WinCreate = False
  End If
End Function

Sorry I don't understand what you mean? Please could you reformulate?

It is not clear to me why you need to do this.

Well, I'm searching for creating a standard VB form with only code and without make an instance of another form designed in VB development interface.

I don't know if you have posted your message when I posted mine.

Two major reasons to search that : the challenge to perform it, and the wish to reduce the number of source files. I only need a visible form without title, buttons, border or other controls that it could have.

Why not?
