Find Window

[AppSpecialist]

I know this has probably been hashed out quite a bit, but I have a question.

In the form load procedure I am using findwindow to see if th form is already loaded. It finds a match and thinks the form is already loaded... but there is no other version running. I am thinking it is finding itself???

Anyone know of a better way to do what I am looking for or to get findwindow not to look at itself. In this instance... App.previnstance will not do the job for me.

Thanks so much...

Before you try to load the form iterate through the Forms collection, which contains all the currently loaded forms

Will this work for VB 6?

Also... what I am doing is trying to determine if the form is already loaded from another instance of the VB executable... not certain if forms collection would do that?

No, the forms collection will only do it from the current project.
