Add a method in VB 4.0 to center your forms against the screen or aparent form. Create a new project with two forms. Add this code to Form2:
Public Sub ShowCentered(Optional vParent, _ Optional vShowMode)Dim oParent As ObjectDim iMode%, iLeft%, iTop% If IsMissing(vParent) Then 'default is Screen object Set oParent = Screen ElseIf TypeOf vParent Is Screen Or _ TypeOf vParent Is Form Then Set oParent = vParent 'can add MDIForm to this condition Else Exit Sub End If If IsMissing(vShowMode) Then iMode = vbModeless Else _ iMode = Abs(vShowMode) Mod 2 'default is Modeless If TypeOf oParent Is Form Then iLeft = oParent.Left: _ iTop = oParent.Top 'cannot use Left and Top for Screen Move iLeft + (oParent.Width - Width) / 2, _ iTop + (oParent.Height - Height) / 2 Show iModeEnd Sub
Put this code in Form1’s Form_Load event:
ShowForm2.ShowCentered Me, vbModal
