Object Browser within VB6 says:
Sub Show([Modal], [OwnerForm])
Member of VB.Form
Displays an MDIForm or Form object.
Event Load()
Member of VB.Form
Occurs when a form is loaded.
Say (for example's sake) I have a form called frmMainWindow.
I want to open the form as it is and display it onscreen, so I would do
I can make it modal (i.e. it becomes the foremost window of the VB application I created by doing
frmMainWindow.Show vbModal
instead.
Now, if I had the same form (frmMainWindow), but wanted to pass some information into the form which I intend on using when displaying the form onscreen (and the data controls on it for example), I would first load the form
and then I would have exposed the public properties/subs/functions within the form so I can use them where I am.
Example:
Load frmMainWindow
frmMainWindow.ExampleProperty = "blah"
frmMainWindow.ExampleSub
bTest = frmMainWindow.ExampleFunction("info",1)
frmMainWindow.Show vbModal
There, I have loaded the form into memory, then used an example property, sub and function before displaying the form using .Show
I hope that has helped? If I have just pretty much repeated what you already knew, then I apologise
