Actually, by design, when you have a VB program that has more than one form (in the case of a non-MDI program), when the user clicks on one of them, all of the other forms associated with the program are brought to the foreground. And yes, it is something going behind the scenes - normally, I...

The forms are non-heirarchial. Initially, my app runs and has no visible forms on the desktop. It is set up to trap a three-key hotkey combination from the user to create a new instance of a form on the desktop. Each instance is has equal status, is non-MDI, and the user must be able to...

I have a multi-form (non-MDI) app that I'm developing. When the user activates one of the forms in the app by clicking on it, all of the other forms in my app come to the top of the z-order. Is there any way to change this behavior? I would like to make it so that only the form that has been...

Is there any way to unload a form using its handle? That is to say, what is the equivalent WinAPI call for VB's UNLOAD statement/method?

I have an app that dynamically creates new (non-MDI) forms at the user's request. When these forms get sent to the bottom of the zorder (when another window from another app goes to the top of the zorder), and then the user clicks on one of the forms from my app, all of the forms from my app...

Just install. My goal would be to make the install something that could be done in as few steps with as little intervention from the user as possible. Ideally, I'd even like to have a static directory and start menu location for my program, though I know that this can be somewhat hazardous...

Thanks for the info, Gary. And yes, it does help. Are you aware of any other "basic" third-party setup wizards that might have a little bit less of an initial investment than WISE or InstallShield? Steve

So now I've completed coding my killer app in VB, and I'm ready to distribute it. Should I use the MS Package & Deployment Wizard that came with VB6, should I design my own setup utility for it, or should I invest in a third-party package (like InstallShield)? I can see advantages and...

Thanks for the reply and suggestion, Brett!

I'm building an app that I would like to have run on Windows startup. I also would like to allow the user to toggle this feature on and off in an options screen. Other than placing the app's .exe file in the Startup folder, is there a way to do this?

Is there a way to use the clipboard to cut, copy and paste .wav files? Could I somehow use the clipboard's OLE capabilities to do this? --Steve
