Do form1.Hide and Unload me function in visual basic 6.0 is the same?

Private sub command1_click

Unload me

End sub

Private sub command1_click

Form1.Hide

I notice that they're both making the form disappear but I was wondering what is their differences?

Do Form1.Hide and unload me function is the same?

 

The form1.hide is never same to unload form1. 

The Hide Method, simply, takes the form out of view, but is still loaded. you can use form1.show which will show the form exactly as you left it previously. But on using Unload Form1, you are unloading it from the memory and that all controls are lost. on applying form1.show, you will get the form newly loaded with all the controls at the initial stage. However, you can use unload form1 to avoid extra space allocated to memory. If the form’s work is complete, then try unload it. However If you like to get the previous state of the form then you use form1.Hide. 

Please let me know the result.

Thanks
