 Cool Screen Wipes??? Hi Guys,
I downloaded the following code but it doesn't seem to work.
it needs variables in the Command button event. I tried Integer,
String,
Single and Long. None would work. If anybody would care to give it
a go and report back, I'd be interested in what was found.
Also, I not clear as to the meaning of the "!" and "%" after variables.
How and why are they used? Are there any more symbols like these
that are used with variables?
Thanks,
Magic

This works. You just have to declare your variables as the correct type. The % means integer so in the command button code do: dim L% dim T% before anything else. The ! is a bang but I don't see where it appears in this code. Look in the help file these operators are right at the beginning. Boden Larson

Cool Screen Wipes??? Hi, just a beginner with VB, but from the class I took......% is a
variable suffix for integer (replaces "LT as integer"). You'll have to
dim L and T as integer for the command button, and your form looks like
it'll have to be named Me.frm. Is this right, any of the many MUCH more
knowledgeable gurus out there?

[Snip] The Me variable always refers to the instance of the object (Form,
Class, or Module) in which it appears. Use it when you want the
object to call methods within itself when there are potential scope
problems.
The most common use of 'Me' that I've run across is when the form
needs to Show or Hide itself, and can't be sure it's the active form.
The Show/Hide methods work on the active (the one with focus) form by
default, if your form isn't modal, and it isn't the only form in your
project, you can't guarantee that it's the active form. To get by
this feature <g> use the Me operator before the Show/Hide. Me.Show
explicitly calls the Show method of the form it appears in.
Form1.Show would work if you only have one instance of the form, and
it happened to be named Form1. However, VB will allow you to create a
new instance of Form1 with the statement:
Dim MyNewForm1 as new Form1.
And if the Form1.Show code is called from the MyNewForm1 instance,
the wrong instance will appear, and chaos will surely follow.
