Ok making my game and i decide i want to add a new feature. i start about doin this fine but when i try to put a new command box(well a new anything!) i get a mesage"Reached limit. cannot create any more controls for this form." is ther away i can make this limit higher? Thnx J(kingkirb)
To try and fix this i have made a new form in the same project but i dont seem to be able to call anything form my other form. I am trying to call a global variable but it doesnt recognise it as form the other form and gives it a nill value. I also tried calling a public precedure but that didnt work. Finnally i tried putting my variables into a module and THAT did work. Im stumped!! Help PLZ!! J(kingkirb)
Does anyone know how to close a switched form? I tried form1.cls but when i check task manager the form is still active. what im doin is
dim form1 as new form2 form2.show form1.hide form1.cls
the vise versa for the otherway. No matter what combination i try everytime i close(BTW the problem only occurs when i hit the X at the top of the screne which most people hit) the form the program is stil running! Thanks again J(kingkirb)
I think I know what you want. Try this "unload Form1" and that should work. Then if you want to show form1 again do this: "Dim nform as new form1 nform.show" Using this will close the form, but all information of that form will be lost. I think that answers your question, but if you have questions just ask.
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer) Dim f As Form For Each f In Forms Unload f Next End Sub
As for your controls issue, how many controls do you have on a form? You can overcome the limit by using control arrays and/or dynamically creating controls at runtime.
Ok thanks very much that solved it!! I used my original code to load and hide the form and then i used the formunload command. Ye what i did was i took a lot of my commands and put them in a new form. I already reuse a lot of my command boxes and labels by movin em round and changin their names and when the name is this blah blah blah to save on code. thanks for al your help again. J(kingkirb)
