in vb6:
how to i load more than one instance of a form such as would enable me to do "whisper windows?"
This should be in the vb6 form.
set frmTest = new frmMain
frmTest.show
I think? I can't really remember + I don't have a vb6 open =\
You are correct. To make it better, he might want named whisper windows. Try this code for starters.
Option Explicit
Private Function FindWhisperWindow(ByVal WhisperName As String) As frmWhisper
Dim F1 As Form
For Each F1 In VB.Forms
If F1.Tag = "WhisperWindow for " & WhisperName Then
'target window found
Set FindWhisperWindow = F1
End If
Next
If FindWhisperWindow Is Nothing Then
'did not find, need to create a new window and make it visible
Set FindWhisperWindow = New frmWhisper
FindWhisperWindow.Tag = "WhisperWindow for " & WhisperName
FindWhisperWindow.Show
End If
End Function
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim WW As frmWhisper
Set WW = FindWhisperWindow(Text1.Text)
WW.AddChat vbWhite, "<From [vL]Grok: This should work now>"
End Sub
I think it's quite amazing how VB gets around itself not being an OOPL.

Realize that while VB6 may not have fully-implemented OOP features, it does have some. Missing is inheritance and polymorphism, but VB6 is an object-BASED language, if that helps you understand.
VB.NET meanwhile, is fully OOP compliant, afaik. MyndFyre has more experience with VB.NET and could clarify. However, our two replies are off-topic for this forum.
And, this whole thread should be in VB programming.

Done. On a marginally related note, could someone change phvckmeh's personal text to be something other than "Moderator"? It looks weird, at best.
