What is Hide Method in Visual basic?

[^MALARVIZHI^]

Hey guys, I am student of BCA where in I am having a problem in subject Visual basic 6.0. I am not able to understand a topic in Visual basic which is Hide method. I don’t know when ever I try to implement this method practically, I find that my output is completely different. This may be possible because of I am not aware of this term. So, I think that I should know this term better then implement it. So, anyone having any idea about this term then let me know as soon as possible.

The Hide method is used to hide a form. FormName is the name of the form you want to hide. The form is just hidden and remains in the memory. ExamplefrmSummary.Hide The Load Statement SyntaxLoad FormNameExplanationi.FormName is the name of a form. It loads the specified form in the memory but does not display it. The Form_Load event of the form is triggered on loading it. It is generally not used since the Load is done automatically when the Show method is called.

ExampleLoad frmSummaryThe Unload Statement SyntaxLoad FormNameExplanationi.FormName is the name of a form. It removes the specified form from the memory thus releasing the resources. The Form_Unload event of the form is triggered before unloading it. It is used when the form is no longer needed. ExampleUnload frmSummaryThe Me Keyword DescriptionYou can refer to the currently active form by the Me keyword. You can use Me in place of the form name when coding form statements and methods.

Well, you must be aware that Hide Method is basically used to hide the form in visual basic environment. Me keyword is used by this method to hide the forms. Using Me keyword it will hide the current form in which it has written this code. I think that this is the simplest topic visual basic environment. Now, when you try you will find the difference as it hides the current form.

I also agree with this point that Hide method is used to hide the current form in Visual basic environment. It uses Me keyword which is then followed by Hide keyword also. Over here Me represents the current form. Many of them get confused with this term. But, once the concept is cleared then it is the simplest chapter in Visual basic.
