      From: dean.earley@icode.co.uk              >>>> I'm making an administrational software program in VB6 and was       >>>> wondering if there is a way to display a (borderless) form       >>>> inside a frame on another form, or to load the contents of a       >>>> frame into another frame. I dont want to use MDI.

Maybe I missed something, can you explain?              "The SSTab control has a nice feature of allowing you to switch tabs and       place controls at runtime, but this comes at a price. When you change       tab, the controls aren't actually hidden, but moved a long way off to       the left. This has the undesired side affect of keeping them in the tab       order and accessible (although out of sight)"              Taken from:       http://hashvb.earlsoft.co.uk/Tabbed_dialogs              --       Dean Earley (dean.earley@icode.co.uk)       i-Catcher Development Team              iCode Systems              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
