Importing a Visual Basic Form

HomeOverviewHow Do I

You can import a Visual Basic form in the dialog editor. A Visual Basic form resembles a dialog box and is the container within which you place controls to create the user interface for a Visual Basic application.

Some controls will also import with the form. ActiveX controls, if installed in the project, will import. Controls that are native to Visual Basic can be troublesome, and nested controls also have limitations. Most of these limitations come from differences between the Visual Basic run-time and the Windows run-time and dialog behaviors. 

To import a Visual Basic form

  1. From the Insert menu, choose Resource.

  2. Click Import.

  3. Type the name of the .FRM file, or browse to locate the file.

  4. Click Import.
