HonorFormVisibleProperty method

 HonorFormVisibleProperty(Enable)

HonorFormVisibleProperty

The HonorFormVisibleProperty method enables the ability to create a hidden form by setting its visible property to FALSE in the Create or Enter event. Later the form can be shown by setting the Visible property back to TRUE. Care should be taken to ensure the form is either shown or terminated at some point as the parent form is still disabled while the child is hidden.

This feature can be useful when showing a status form. If the form would only be shown for a very short period of time then it might be less intrusive if it never appeared at all. If processing takes longer, then the form could be shown.

// REM Enable hidden forms
Forms.HonorFormVisibleProperty(TRUE)
