Import OCX or DLL

[saramaia]

Hello...

To build an application where there is a toolbar in the left side of the form with buttons and depending on the button clicked open a diferent "thing" on the right side of the form... what is the best thing to do? Import a dll or a ocx??

Can i import in a form one ocx that is inside another project (dll) ?

Thanks in advance

Use an MDI Form as your main form and place a PictureBox to it

[b][COLOR=blue]Set Align= 3-Align Left[/color][/b]

(PictureBox is the only control you can directly place into an MDI form.)
Put some command buttons on PictureBox.You can even use Labels instead of command buttons. Add the code

[COLOR=blue]Private Sub Command1_Click()
 Form1.Show
End Sub[/color]

Use the same method to all the command buttons. This is the easiest method without any ocx or dll
Set all the other forms

[b][COLOR=blue]MDIChild=True[/color][/b]

Set the MDI form as your statup form from

[b][COLOR=blue]Project  > Properties[/color][/b]

setup.
Hope this helps
