[RESOLVED] combine forms

[Shadow45o]

Yay! Yet another question today

anyway...what I need to know is if there is a way to combine forms. What I mean is, that when the program is open there is only 1 item on the toolbar instead of multiple shown on the toolbar. For example, I open the main app. and click on notes. The notes would open another form, but I wouldn't want another item on the toolbar, just the main 1, and if the X is pressed on the second form, it should just close that form, not the whole program.

I mainly want this so that all the forms will minimize at once... and won't have the extra clutter of all the forms having a separate item added to the toolbar

So simply, I want 1 main form shown on the toolbar and when multiple forms are opened from the same project, it doesn't add to the toolbar and just keeps the one main tool bar.

Hope this makes sense...anyway...thanks for the help

I know a good amount of coding with vb,but I tend to overlook things...(and the weekend is when I have the most time to play around with vb, hence all the questions...)

There is a property for a form called something like ShowInToolbar. Setting that to False for all but the main form, may do what you want.

Wow...I really overlooked that one...anyway...thanks!

That took care of the clutter, than I figured out a way to make the forms "disappear" when the main form is minimized.
