pro_vb thread: Form changes...
Hi Adina,
You can use frames as Shreekar mentioned.
If I have understood you well then here's a simple example:
Create following things:
1. Form
2. Put frame Frame1 on the form
3. Put textbox Text1 on the frame1
4. Put frame frame2 on the form right above frame1 with same size etc.
(you can put it anywhere for that matter).
5. Put label1 on frame2
6. Put two command buttons on the form (but not on any of these frames)
You can very well use menu instead of command buttons.
Type the following code in the form
Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If Frame1.Visible = False Then Frame1.Visible = True
If Frame2.Visible = True Then Frame2.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub Command2_Click()
If Frame2.Visible = False Then Frame2.Visible = True
If Frame1.Visible = True Then Frame1.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
'Set same dimensions for frame1 and frame2
Frame1.Height = Frame2.Height
Frame1.Width = Frame2.Width
'Put on frame on top of other, you can put it anywhere though!
Frame1.Top = Frame2.Top
Frame1.Left = Frame2.Left
Frame2.Visible = False
Text1.Text = "I'm on Frame1"
Text1.ForeColor = RGB(0, 0, 255) 'Better visibility
Label1.Caption = "I'm on Frame2!"
Label1.ForeColor = RGB(255, 0, 0) 'Better visibility
End Sub
Now run it and click on command buttons 1 and 2. There you are!
Hope this helps,
Prakash
