I need some help.

Can you have multiple pages open at any time? I want to have one page open and have one page be a different size.

Short answer is no you can't.

Depending on what you are doing and want to achieve, you could perhaps create another application and open that when required.

You might also be able to use a dialogex but that would be modal i.e. you have to deal with that window and close it before you can continue with your main app. It could be a different size to your main window.

I was just wondering. That would be cool functionality to add in another version though, I'm using AMS because it's easier than learning some complicated scripting language, but then again it has it's limitations like this. Another question, is there a way to set windows to follow the default windows style, like you would deal with having a blank window on visual basic, I mean the style, rather, like the background colors follow the windows theme, as if it were styled by windows itself.

until now make another application but make sure your add application will open only from master application... get it

In my experience the limitations of AMS lie with the developer and not with the software . I have not yet come across a situation where I wanted to achieve something and was not able to do it.

Possibly my secret lies in the fact that, to draw an analogy I'm not trying to learn how to fly using a car.

If you search the forum you will find lots of posts where forum members have posted examples of 'skins' and other graphics, buttons etc.

Have you ever wanted to have two pages open at the same time?

Yes - I used 2 apps.

Quite right.

A weak analogy which didn't make the point adequately. My meaning was that AMS is a great piece of software but it is not a complete software development solution. I leave it to other people to say what is the best programming environment.

Back to AMS - there is a recurring theme in posts by new users that it does not do x,y or z and therefore it is limited or has shortcomings. In most cases I believe that x,y, or z is 'do-able' using AMS perhaps with a little original thought and some effort.

AMS does what it says on the box and a whole lot more.
