Set all objects in a form to invisible.

Cy
I've had good luck with posting in the past, so we'll see how things go
this time...:)

I have an Access 2000 form. On the form is about 40 objects. I want
to set everything to invisible, except a drop down box. Once the user
selects from the pull down menu, I have code that picks the applicable
fields to be visible.

Thus, if a user makes changes to the pull down menu, ie. changes the
value in the pull down, I need everything to go back to being invisible
and a new set of objects appear.

Any ideas on how to set all 40 objects to invisible without having to
call each individual object in code?

Your answer is conprehensive, but the answer posted yesterday, 11
minutes after the question was logged, was sufficient to solve
Cy's problem. Not that your contribution isn't welcome, but the
suggestion that the question wasn't taken seriously is in error.
It was seriously answered, and then we had our fun.


There is no serious answer to the question on my news server. I
checked before responding, as I didn't want to spend that time if
someone had already answered it.

The user displays an event for update (frmEventAdd). Then clicks on a button to display the Trials for that event...

Hi guys, I´m trying to make a startup invisible form. I don´t want a form with Opacity property 0. First I did the property Visible of the form to false. It wasn´t a good idea, was too easy. Then I follow the tips of MSDN making a new class with an instance of the form that has the logical of the application. But it not run since I call the ShowDialog() method. Please, can anyone gime me a tip or any web with an example? I´m a newbie.

Hi Is there a way to open a form hidden/invisible while it is populating its controls, and then make it visible once it is done?

I have Form1 and Form2. Form2 has to be loaded in memory so that controls on it can be controlled from Form1, so I declared it in the Form1 declaration section. That works OK. Now I just need to make form2 visible once and make it invisible again, although it should be staying active in memory. If I have a global boolean g_form2Shown then to show it I can, in a click event in form1 do If not g_Form2Shown then Form2.show 'the declaration...
