O.P. How To Show A Form?
I'll be coding a plugin in VB6 - any forms that i add to the DLL never show up, even when called from a menu/text command.

How are we able to show config or about screens if this is disabled? Is it related to this...?

code:
'//   Technical Note: the message must be sent from the same thread  //
'//   Initialize() was called, else, Messenger Plus! will reject the //
'//   call for security reasons.                                     //
EDIT: i've just noticed a previous thread by CMI that's kinda related to this, even still, any feedback posted here will be gladly received.

All help is appreciated, thanks.

Erm , If you want to show a form in Basics you have to show it as a model.

code:
Form1.Show 1


instead of

code:
Form1.Show

Its actually quite useful for like about windows and stuff. So that the window is limited to that window.

If you need any help we have alot of Developers here. :-)

I suggest you to learn using constants.
Why? Because some aren't always constant depending on system config. I think vbLeftButton is one of them.

Anyway, the constant you should use instead of "1" is vbModal
