You gotta move it, move it — VB6 Magic :)

This is just a “fun” coding blog, but who knows, maybe you’ll find a good use for it on your projects 🙂

The goal is simple — move the control somewhere else — just like magic 🙂

Design (Setup)

Super simple, just add the following to the default form:

• Command Button (to trigger the action)
• List box (the control we’ll move)
• Frame (where the control moves to)

Codes (Setup)

We’re just going to put some content in our list like so:

If you want to use something else, like a picture box — just load an image.

Codes (Action)

It’s actually just one line (where we set the “Container” property).

The last 2 lines are just to move the control to the center — you don’t have to.

Magic Time!

Now let’s try the code 🙂

Before clicking the button

Here’s what you should see when you run the codes:

After clicking the button

And here’s what you’ll see once you click the button:

That’s all folks!

Like I said, just a fun little coding blog 🙂
