Modless Form - How???

I'm trying to create a modeless form with one textbox on
it and one progress meter. Nothing else. I am not
passing it any parameters. It will be called from a
module which is the startup object. I have the following
statements in the module:

Friend form as New Form1

form.txtMessage .Text = "Displayed Text here .."
form.pbar1.Valu e = 0
form.Show()

When I run it, just the form displays, but not the
controls. All the controls display fine using ShowDialog,
but I need the form to be modeless.

Thanks for any help.

The code should work. Which code are you executing directly after the
call to the 'Show' method?

I just go on to process a text file. I want to refresh
the screen every 100 records as to the progress. In VB6,
there was the DoEvents but I can't seem to find the
correct .net statement which can be called by the module.

'Application.Do Events'.

Have the IDE search for DoEvents and you will find Application.Doe vents.

I am interested in hearing opinions on the semantic meaning of FORM (elements) in HTML. I have to start of apologising because this question arose in a context that is not applicable to the Internet.

I realise that that concept is a non-starter in an Internet...

Hi, I am working on a genealogy form. The only table (so far) lists everybody in the family, one record per person. Each record has an autonum ID.

I have some old code that I use from the Access 95 Developers handbook. The code works very well, with the exception that it doesn't seem to recognize wide screens, and sizes tab controls so that they are too big and wind up covering up some of the fields on the main form. Is there any good code out there that works in a similar fashion that will also either a) stretch the form width wise on widescreens or b), rely on height rather than...
