Form that longer than 1 screenful.

[hongnga]

I am new to Visual Basic. I've seen Turbo Tax program form that is longer than 1 full screenful screen. I've just wonder how I can create a form that is longer than 1 screenful in Visual Basic 6. Thx

You can use a MDI form and put this form inside it as a child form. By default the MDI form show a Scrollbar when the child form is larger than the screen.

Truely speaking it is not advisable to have a form which is more than the screen. You can use a Tab control and put all the controls in it.

For example, open MS word and select Tools--> Options. You can see a form with a tab control

If you don't want to use the Tab control or a MDI form, I have a demo project I can send you that illustrates "scrolling a form". The form itself does not scroll, but instead all controls are placed within a couple of picture boxes and it is the inner picturebox which is scrolled. It's easy to do.
