i'm having a bit of a problem

the thing is loading an object in parsecommand will cause the command not to be parsed while the object is loaded

for example

Public Function ParseCommand(ByVal sCommand As String, ByVal sCommandArg As String, ByVal oConversationWnd As Object, ByRef sResult As String) As Boolean
    If (StrComp(LCase(sCommand), "/xwmp", vbTextCompare) = 0) Then
        sResult = ""
        ParseCommand = True
        load(form1)
        Exit Function


...

and so on

will cause this, anyone who knows how to work around this?

I already tried

Set frm = New Form1
    frm.Show
    Set frm = Nothing

but that gives the same problem
so i'm getting a bit desperatie, because it's not only with forms

i'm starting to fear that the only thing i can do is to start a second thread, but that means making another dll with the forms or doing a lot of code in vb6. so i'm probably just overlooking a very simple solution (at least that's what i hope )

oh c'mon, somebody has to know a solution. i already put a lot of work in my plugin and it works as a standalone exe (well kind of) i don't want to give up now because i can't open my classes

i want to know how you do this in c so can somebody tell us???

the problem with vb is that the loading of an object will stop the rest of the code to stop until the object is released again, i don't know how to bypass this, i just tried it by using a second dll but that doesn't help. then i made a second thread which worked (it only had one little problem, it made msn crash ) so now i'm out of ideas, the only thing left over that i know off is making an exe and calling that with command line arguments out of your dll, which seems pretty lame to me

Form1.Show?

Form1.Visible = True?

Have you tried those?

Form1->Show(); didn't work and my form is standard visible

this also happens to me when i make a message box

No a messagexox works when you make him like this: MessageBox(NULL, "Hello World", "Hello", MB_OK);

how would you make an equivalent to this:

code:

---

If MsgBox("Blabla", vbYesNo, "blabla") = vbYes Then
Else
End If
