Information About A Form Without Opening The Form
I am trying to get information on a form (width and height) but I can't seem to access that info without the form being open.
Solution B is to create an procedure that will open all necessary forms, read their width and height, and put that into a table that can be read later, then close the forms.
I would prefer to not have to do solution B...any suggestions?

Disabling All Form's Control Or The Form Upon Opening The Form.
Hi There
Here is my Objective (What I want to accomploish).
Upon opening a Form Called “Search”, the Curser gets focused on a ComboBox called “comboTrans”, And the user must select a value form the ComboBox before they are allowed to move to any other Control. (That is all)
Off Course since the form is an Unbound, They should be able to close the Form any time they wish, Even thou, they have not selected any value from the ComboBox “comboTrans” yet.
I tried many different events of The control and the form itself.
The closest that I came to reach the above objective was in Lostfocus Event of the control itself, But It causes problem when the user decides to close the Form before entering any values ‘for any reason”, the Control’s msgBox Keeps Popping Up.
Therefore I decided a different technique;
And that is Upon Opening the Form, Basically disable or Lock all the controls in the above Form or the Form itself, Except the ComboBox. Then setting the focus on the Active ComboBox, and Even if the User moves to other control, with the help of a MsgBox Forcing the user to move back and select a value from the Active ComboBox
And in the AfterUpdate event of the ComboBox make all other controls Enabled or active again.
A note the form has No record Source and the Control itself is unbound and has No Control Source.
Best Regards

Display Information On Main Form That Is Gathered On Second Form.
Hello,
I am using a serial barcode reader to scan information into a label on a form that is NOT my main form. I would like to display this information on my main form as well. Actually, I am using the comm event from the scanner to capture the information so even if the second form is not open, I want to display the information on the main form (in a label). So...to hopefully simplify my question....How do I display information from one form to the main form.
Thanks!
How To 'grab' The Information From A Called Form To The Calling Form
I have a question regarding two forms.
1 form is the called form..and 1 form is the calling form.
Example, the called form is a popup form that has a MSHFlexgrid to display all the data in a table from a specific database. It is basically a search used whenever the user forgets a student ID or name, etc. Now usually, I have a double click event on the grid where the user double clicks on the grid and grabs the information and puts it on the form. This works fine if only 'one' form calls this popup form. It's specified. Now, how would I be able to do the same thing with multiple calling forms?
For example, the Student Search popup form will be called from the Enrollment Form and the Student Form. So how would I be able to grab the information from that popup form, onto the specified calling form? In other words, how would I make it so that the popup form knows which form is calling it so that it can put the specific information through the double click event?
Importing Form Information Into Notepad (from The Form)
Hey,
I am trying to code a button which, upon clicking it, copies the information currently in the form into notepad.
So far I have successfully coded a way to put it into an email. I was just wondering if the above solution would look something like this, or would it be completely different
-=============================================-
Private Sub Command235_Click()
Dim strToWhom As String
Dim strMsgBody As String
Dim strSubject As String
strSubject = "Your Subject goes here!"
strToWhom = "support@xxxxx.x"
strMsgBody = "Call No: " & Call_No & Chr(10) & _
"Date: " & Date & Chr(10) & " " & "Customer Name: " & Customer_Name & Chr(10)
DoCmd.SendObject , , , strToWhom, strToCCWhom, , strSubject, strMsgBody, True
End Sub
-=============================================-
So far I have found out how to open notepad:
Private Sub Command244_Click()
Shell ("notepad.exe ")
End Sub
Hooray.
Thanks.

Control Stays With The Parent Form Even After Opening The New Form
Hi,
I am facing a problem in my VB application.
Here is the issue:
I have one form "frmResult" which has the third party Thumbnail control and another form "frmImage" which displays the image. Here both the forms are MDIChild.
Now, whenever user clicks on the Thumbnail in "frmResult" form, "SelChange" event of the thumbnail Control in "frmResult" gets fired and it creates the new instance of the "frmImage" and displays image in it.
Though it seem that "frmImage" form has focus, but clicking on the "frmImage" form (keeping the opened "frmImage" form to it's default position) selects the thumbnail beneath the "frmImage" form and fires the "SelChange" event for the selected thumbnail control of "frmResult" and opens new "frmImage" form for the selected thumbnail.
What i have seen when i debug this issue is, "Deactivate Event" of the "frmImage" gets executed immediately and the control stays with the "frmResult" form.
What i want is once the "frmImage" form opened by clicking on the thumbnail that form should have the control.

Getting Information From A Form
Hi,
I've never made an application with multiple forms before, so I'm having quite a lot of trouble at the moment! I'm using a Sub Main procedure when the application starts, which shows a splash screen while other events take place. One of the events I want to happen is to read the contents of a text box on one of the other forms, but I don't want this form to be visible.
This is probably very simple but I haven't a clue how to start.
Thanks.
Information Form/box
In VB6:
I have a form that takes a bit of time to prepare for display. I wish to display a message asking the user to be patient while the data is prepared.
I've tried a msgbox but that requires a button push which is not what I want. I created a simple form with a label asking the user to be patient, but when I show the form initially when the main form is being populated, the simple form remains see-through so no message can be read so that isn't the way to go either.
How can this be done?
Thanks,
Ken

Sending Form Information?
i have a form named FormSomething and i wish to reference to it in a few subprograms. but instead of having to hardcode the name of this form into each time i use it i want to use a generic name for it. let's say, FormStore.
so i would do this.
set formstore as new formsomething
so now formstore should be the same as formsomething, correct?
but here's the problem.
if i have a label control on formsomething called lblsomething it is not referenceable in formstore. none of my controls are. ? ? ? ?
Anyone For Saving Form Information?
I am using the CommonDialog control to save data of all controls from inside a Form. Which I already know about that. But the fact of the matter is that I need to save the information about if either Form2 or Form4 is visible and then record the information into the file using the Print statement.
Then when the time to open the file using the Open statement, the file will tell the program to jump to that form with all of the information in the right place.

Getting Form Information From An ActiveX Control
Hi,
I have a MDI ActiveX Control that I need to pass 2 items of information to, tab name and tab color.
The ActiveX Control uses subclassing to know when a MDI child window is created. It then uses the GetWindowText API to get the child caption. It then displays the child caption as the tab name.
I tried amending the color of the tab to the caption like so:
childForm.Caption = "My Tab | 1345453"
From this I can split the string and get both the caption name and color value. Problem is in the taskbar it displays as:
My Program - [My Tab | 1345453]
----------------------------------------------------------------
I need a way to either get the taskbar to display only "My Program" all the time, or find another way to pass the color information.
I can't simply change the child caption to "" because the color information is needed for redrawing.
If anyone can suggest anything, it would be greatly appreciated.

Pulling Information From One Table Into Another Form
does anyone know how I can automatically populate a text in a form with information from another table.
I have a database where on my main form there is a textbox call 'procurement'. When a vendor is entered on the form...(afterupdate) the textbox 'procurement' will populate with a atatus (such as parnter or nonpartner). this info resides in another table on the same database. It will work if I used this info as a subform. but i just want one text box to from the whole table.
can anyone help?
Thanks
Problem Posting Information To A Web Form
This is my first post, so please be gentle.
I've been having trouble creating an app. that will allow people at my university to automatically log people in to our school's network authentication system. They school's system logs people off the internet every so often at random intervals, disabling all connections w/ the outside world. I have gotten the program to work successfully in all aspects but one: I can't get the data to properly post to the form (that's the clincher!). Below is a watered down version of what I'm trying to do (but it still gets the same error):
------------------------
Function Logout(resnet)
On Error GoTo ErrorMsgbox:
strHTML = "<form name=logout action='https://ip-nexus-" & resnet & ".uark.edu/login' method=POST>" & _
"<input type=hidden name=log value=no>" & _
"<input type=text name=name value=-logout>" & _
"<input type=password name=pass value=none>" & _
"<input type=submit value=logout>" & _
"<SCRIPT>logout.submit()</SCRIPT>" & _
"</form>"
WebBrowser1.Document.write strHTML
Do
DoEvents
Loop Until WebBrowser1.Busy = False
ErrorMsgbox:
MsgBox ("Error " & Err.Number & ": " & Err.Description)
Resume Next
End Function
--------------------------------
The above function is called from a timer and is passed the resnet parameter. strHTML is derived direcly from the HTML on the website where we are logged out. Whenever it gets to WebBrowser1.Document.write strHTML it causes an error. The error message says: "Error -2147467260: Operation Aborted". The Resume Next makes it go to the do/while loop, which then gets an error that says "Error 0". Any idea why I am getting this error? If I just put "On Error Resume Next", it still causes an error which gets ignored and the form never gets posted either. Any ideas about this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Opening A Form From Another Form
Having just started VB, I get easily confused by all the big words, so to anyone answering: please make it simple! (I'm only 17yo, if that helps)
OK: I really, really can't be bothered using MDIs/child things, etc, is there another way to open another form separately (using Private Sub Command_Click() )?
If you need more detail, I've made an animal survey, and I want a button to lead to another survey that I've made.
Please help, or else I'll give up and go and cry in a corner.
Putting Information In TextBox On User Form
I am pulling information from a spreadsheet into two separate textbox controls on my form. After the user enters the month, an afterupdate procedure runs. The procedure opens the workbook, searches for the matching date, assigns two cells to different variables, and then repaints the form.
It all works correctly, except that the numbers are being rounded. On the spreadsheet, the numbers have up to six decimal places, but when the macro sets them to the variable, it rounds to only four decimal places. This causes a variance later on, so I was wondering what I need to do to fix this.
Thanks!
Accessing Form Information In Embedded Browsers
I want a button that is in my app to access the embedded browser window and click on a button according to its value, name or combination of those values. I am having trouble accessing the browser window with browser.document... commands.
By the way, I already know how to do it with focus and sendkeys, it's just that I need the app to be able to send it even when minimized.
I found some relevant code:
webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("NAME").SetAttribute("Value", "username")
webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("PASSWORD").SetAttribute("Value", "password")
webBrowser1.Document.Forms[0].InvokeMember("Submit")
The top two lines work, but the bottom one does not.
Okay, figured it out. Now, how do I check if the button exists on the page before pushing it? That way, I avoid crashes.
