Frozen Main Form - Form and all controls are frozen and unresponsive.

3
I am writing a VB6 application that opens with a Login form that allows the user to select one of several databases. Clicking 'OK' on the Login form opens the Main form.

Something has happened to the Main form. It opens, but it is frozen. None of the controls respond, and the form itself can not be moved by clicking and dragging on the title bar. The entire form is totally unresponsive. At one point the MDIChild got set to true and the Main form would not display at all (error 366, No MDI Form available to load). Now it displays but it is totally frozen, and I am totally puzzled!

Anyone have an idea of what could be happening here? Thank you! George

Go to debug mode. Use F8 to go through code line by line and you would be able to find a problem. There is no way without looking at actual code anyone can help you in this situation.

Sometimes it is difficult task to go through a lot of code to get to the point but who will do it if not you.


Good Luck.

Thank you for your offer of help. I am feeling rather stupid at this time but the answer was simply that I had inadvertently changed the form Enabled property to false. Back to True now and it works fine. Embarrassed but it won't be the last time! Thanks again. George
