VB Syntax, List1.Visible - what am I missing

List1.Visible - what am I missing

Author	Message
Dale Sampso #1 / 5	List1.Visible - what am I missing I have a VB6 sp3 project that has multiple forms(splash, options, main). The main uses a Tab control (ssTab). On the 1st tab are four list boxes. On the options form I want the user to be able to set/clear the visibility of these list boxes. Seems straight foreward. The problem I'm having is that list1.visible is ALWAYS false. Even when the list is visible. Even after a statement list1.visible = True. Even if set to True at design time. I must be missing something basic here. Any thoughts about what's going on? Thanks! dale sampson www.dalesplace.net

Randy Birc #2 / 5	List1.Visible - what am I missing Are you sure that the list is simply not at the top of the ZOrder? Try adding List1.Order 0 after the visible statement. -- Randy Birch, MVP Visual Basic http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/ http://www.mvps.org/ccrp/ Please correspond only using the newsgroups so all can benefit. \| I have a VB6 sp3 project that has multiple forms(splash, options, main).

Dale Sampso #3 / 5	List1.Visible - what am I missing Thank you Randy and Ekrem for your responses. Thanks Ekrem for the example - loaded yours & worked as expected. Looked at mine and didn't see any differences. As I looked through code, I noticed this in the start up module (Thank you app wizzard) : Public fMainForm As frmMain Sub Main() Set fMainForm = New frmMain Load fMainForm Unload frmSplash fMainForm.Show End Sub The actual form name is frmMain. So silly me used that name to reference the controls. However, this little code above changes things so to access the controls, I needed to go fMainForm.list1.Visible ...... Referencing frmMain gives no errors, it just plain don't do anything. Thanks again for the help ... dale sampson www.dalesplace.net Quote: > I have a VB6 sp3 project that has multiple forms(splash, options, main). The > main uses a Tab control (ssTab).

Jim Deutc #4 / 5	List1.Visible - what am I missing This is my main #1 primary gripe about the app wizard! Nobody should ever (well, almost ever) use "Dim X as New Y". People are forever creating invisible instances of frmMain and wondering why manipulating the controls on them has no visible effect.
