MDI Picture

[PsyVision]

If i have a standard form with a picture box on it. I want it so when you click a button it displays a form inside the picture box, to give the effect of 'MDI'.

Use the SetParent API.

Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    SetParent Form2.hwnd, Picture1.hwnd
    Form2.Show

End Sub

Better yet, use this code. It will allow multiple copies of Form2.

Private Declare Function SetParent Lib "user32" (ByVal hWndChild As Long, ByVal hWndNewParent As Long) As Long
Dim newForm As Form2

Private Sub Command1_Click()

    Set newForm = New Form2
    SetParent newForm.hwnd, Picture1.hwnd
    newForm.Show

End Sub
