I don't know if its the same for VB but in C++ to pause a program so that it doesn't come up and disappear again you use:

system("PAUSE");


Probably won't help since VB and C++ are two completely different languages...


Anyway, good luck and happy surfin!

MaverickSidewinder... unfortunatley that code doesn't work in VB, they are two different languages.

TwiztidNinja... I'm confused on what you want. So you're opening another form (form.Show), and want the main form to stop executing code? Couldn't you just hide it? (me.hide)

[MaverickSidewinder]

Thought so....

Im useless....








Useless but happy

no because i want it top finish executing the code when im done with the new form




Bu]nch of code
stop here until done with new form
Continue here when done with new form
Bunch of code

I found a solution to this without pausing the code ill just brake it up amoungs the forums and save the data in text files

[Ctrl_Alt_Del]

Open the new form as Application modal. Even if you are in a loop the loop will stop when the new form appears. Then when the new form is closed code resumes on the first line AFTER the call to show window.

if you are talking of visual basic 6:

assuming you have the cmdOK button, when click event is activated this codes will be useful:

Private Sub cmdOk_Click()
' This will show the next form
form2.show

' This will disable the previous form thus pausing any running operations
form1.enable = false

End Sub

Supposed at form2 you had again another cmdClose button, click event is activated

Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
' This will hide form2
form2.hide

' This will show the next form
form1.show

' This will disable the previous form thus pausing any running operations
form1.enable = true

End Sub
