When I first started programming with VB6, seems like the most popular way to load another form from within a form would be: form2.visible = true But lately I have seen a lot of people using: form2.show What is the main difference between these? And which is the preferred method? Thanks.

I have found the code (below) that you posted (nearly 2 years ago) very useful in a program I'm working on. The original thread was closed so I couldnt comment on it in that thread. But since I used it, I feel I should thank you for it, so... Thank you! (For other's info, this piece of code...

I have a program that does some behind the scenes things, then displays a form. I have form's key preview set to true, maximised, control box false. The form should and does fill up the whole screen. I have windows taskbar set to autohide, so all I see on the screen is my form. The form expects...

I have a form with two list boxes, a couple of command buttons, and a few labels. The form starts up in normal windows position.

Is it possible for VB6 to rotate the screen output 90 degrees? Example, if I wanted to turn my monitor on its side, can VB6 turn the screen back to a position you can easily see? I know this sounds ridiculus, but it is a real question.
