use 'Option Explicit' and start with full compile [Ctrl]+[F5] to find all the undefined variables.
Or be lazy and try my upload 'Roja's Code Fixer' which will do most of the work for you.
Anyway some are missed in UserControl_WriteProperties

I can't vote it, wanna know why? U just imported the 3rd party controls and gathered on your form masker. The masker is not even a true masking control! You will never make the custom form truely working in MDI containers, nor will be able to use menues. What abaout form resizing? To see a true form masker, see http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?lngWId=1&txtCodeId=47353

(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

 
12/3/2004 4:06:36 PM

I looks is great but it has a memory problem when the form is a child of an mdi form. I also downloaded you suite of controls and the same thing happens. The memory problem is so bad the the controls are changed on the form and the VB IDe toolbar are modified. Not sure how that could happen. I wrote to you about this but never got a reply. Would love to use a stable version of your controls.

AutoLoad Bug
if you change in the form any objekt the for will show automaticly. "UserControl_Show" detekts the load event. I have changed 2 things and now it works better.
1. Private Sub CloseButton_Click()
On Error GoTo EF
'Unload MYFORM
MYFORM.Hide ' <<- this
EF:
End Sub
2.Private Sub UserControl_Show()
.....
If m_AutoLoad Then
For Each oxc In UserControl.Parent
sichtbar = 0
If oxc.Container.Visible = True Then
sichtbar = 1
Else
oxc.Container.Visible = False
Exit Sub
End If
If TypeOf oxc Is OsenXPForm And sichtbar = 1 Then
Debug.Print "-----> oxc.LoadXP"
oxc.Left = 0
oxc.Top = 0
oxc.LoadXP
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
....
