| | What many of us do not know is that using a button on a form with the function "Unload Form1" or even clicking the X in the upper right corner is like pulling the plug out of your computer while it is still on. It may not exit the program cleanly and efficiently, may leave background processes running, or just give you unwanted errors by exiting improperly.
All you need to do is unload all components, forms, controls, etc. upon unloading. Say you have 2 forms in your project, 1 component, and 2 controls. If these ojects are placed onto a form, unload them properly! For instance-
CODE Private Sub Form_Unload()
Unload Form1
Unload Form2
Unload Component1
Unload Control1
Unload Control2
End Sub
This will make sure that all objects are properly unloaded instead of "dumping" them when you exit the program.
Hope this helped you. |

you have a string. Whether it be a label caption, an entry in a text box by the user of your

to appear. For instance, a user types "X is gay" in a text box, and you want to change that to

this work when a user types something in a textbox, you will need to use this sub: CODE ....
