form dialog

[gsc1ugs]

Me.caption = "what ever the files are"

Can anyone tell me how to popup a dialog that will do the above in a dialog ?

Regards

MsgBox "Your Text Here"

is that what you mean?

[gsc1ugs]

No not really, i'm contiuosly copying separate files so it would need updated each time

You have to design your own dialog then, either as a simple form with borderstyle changed to something limiting, or by designing an activeX that operates a form on your command.

Whats the fragment code to do this please..?

If it isn't gsc1ugs. Back to copying questions again.

Make a new form, called for example "frmDialog". Set the borderstyle = 4 (fixed toolwindow)

Basically this is just a poxy little dialog box now. I don't know how you are copying your files, but this should give you a general idea.

frmDialog.Show
For Each FileBeingCopied
  frmDialog.Caption = FileBeingCopied.Name
  DoEvents
  copy (FileBeingCopied)
Next
Unload frmDialog

It s the centre of the dialog i wnat to change not the caption..

[Iain17]

Right well make Form like i said in my last post and place a label in the middle. Call it lblMessage for now.

'show the dialog form
frmDialog.Show

'this is the loop where you are copying files.
For Each FileBeingCopied
  'show the name of the file being copied on the
  'frmDialog label.
  frmDialog.lblMessage.Caption = FileBeingCopied.Name
  DoEvents
  'how ever you copy your file.
  copy (FileBeingCopied)
Next

'unload the dialog Form
Unload frmDialog
