Jun #2 / 10	MDI without the form? hello, when i run my program unfer Windows 3.1 and VB Pro. 3.0, sometimes i got the error "Out of Stack". can someone tell me what might be the problem? also, i'm still having the problem when i install my program on another machine under Windows 3.1 and 16-bit VB Pro 4.0. when i load the configuration file for my frame grabber using a function in vendor's DLL load_file("d:\dir1\config.cnf") it gives me "Bad DLL calling convention". the program works with VB 3.0, and the DLL is from the vendor so that i can not check/modify. i appreciate any help. -jun li

Don't use an MDI form, use a normal form. When the user hits minimize (check the .WindowState in _Resize), you loop the Forms collection and minize all other forms. -- Newbiehood is not a period of time, it's a way of life. http://www.sn.no/~balchen/ ftp://ftp.sn.no/user/balchen/

Maybe a sub is calling itself, or event A triggers event B, which in turn triggers event A, which in turn triggers event B... get the point?

Since the VB environment only allows one program to be created at once, (per running instance in VB4), i would assume that the VB 'button bar', by which I assume you mean the menu bar, is simple a normal form, with no client area.

What do you mean by "all windows"? If you mean all of your app's windows, do this: Choose one window as the master (i.e. the button bar), and make all other windows in the app a child (NOT a midichild -- this has nothing to do with multiple-document interfaces) of the master window by putting the following in a bas module. (NOTE: the declaration MUST be all on one line) -------------------------------------------------- Global Const SWW_HPARENT = -8 Declare Sub SetWindowWord Lib "User" (ByVal hWnd%, ByVal nCmd%, ByVal nVal%) -------------------------------------------------- Then put the following in the load event of each child form. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Call SetWindowWord(Me.hWnd, SWW_HPARENT, NameOfTheMasterWindow.hWnd) --------------------------------------------------------------------- You MUST MUST MUST MUST unload each child form in the unload event of the master form.
