Where's my form

[MaBen]

How can I know if my form has move?
There's no move event with the form.
And I don't want to use a Timer control to watch if the form as move.

Thank's everybody

You have to Subclass your form, how good are you with the API?

[MaBen]

Not very good, can you help?

[Sam Finch]

OK, Subclassing's quite tricky. I really screwed up my computer because I learnt by trial and error so I don't just want to post up some code and have you mess yours up too. There should be an article somewhere on the VB API site (in the blue bit to your left) It's a really usefull technique and it's great to learn but it does crash if you get it wrong.

how did you screw up your computer?

[Sam Finch]

I don't know it was definitley the subclassing, thinking about it it probably wasn't but I screwed it up a whole load of times, which causes bigtime memory leaks and I noticed my machine was slowing down even after rebooting, I think Win98 tried to recover the memory leaks or something, I swiched to windows 2000 though and that seems to have fixed it (plus I make fewer mistakes now)

hey sam, my computer seems like it is running slower by the day. what could be causing this problem? it seems like you had this problem when i read your above posts. my icons used to all be there when i got into win98 a month or 2 ago, but slowly it was taking a few seconds for all the icons to show at startup, and now it takes like over 10 seconds for all my desktop icons to fully load. it is very annoying, and i was wondering if you knew what could cause this and if there was a solution. should i defrag, scandisk, what? thanks for any advice.

also my computer reads from my CD-rom sometimes even when im not trying to access it. for example, when i am typing something in the address bar of IE 5, it will access the cd-rom. why is this?

hdem, i have the same problem on both my portable and my desktop comp. Reads the cd whenever it's not supposed to. Also Win98 seems to run slower and slower by each day. Icons, they load fast enough on my desktop comp, but for my portable i had to reinstall win95, it always loads the icons as fast as possible.
