form visible property/OnShow event

LarryR

I am trying to get a small form (using ShowDialog) to display over my main
for as soon as the main for is displayed. I can't seem to find an accesible
property or event that I can use to tell when my main form has finished
loading. Anyone have a suggestion?

You should use the Form.Activated event to determine when your Form is
shown. You can place your call to ShowDialog inside of your event handler
and that will appropriately pop your dialog over top of your main form. You
need to be careful to unhook this event though since it will occur every
time your Form receives focus. An appropriate solution would be to unhook
it from within your event handler so only the first time your Form is
activated will you pop the dialog.

Best method to selectively lock/disable controls on a form.

by: Saintor | last post by:

What I do now is I put a value in the tag property, and using the form_current event, I run through all controls properties until the ones with the required tag value are met. Sound OK in theory, but it is ... slow. I thought having a table with the name, type of controls and put my 'tag value' there. At the opening of the form, I would retrieve a recordset from the table, and perform a subroutine on the current event to lock/unlock...

Set all objects in a form to invisible.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
