What I mean is, I know how to check if it's loaded, but I want to know if it's being shown at this time

Hi,

Copy this Function and Pass the form name. If form is loaded and not shown, then it's Visible property will be false, u need to check that:

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

Private Sub CheckFormStatus(Myform As Form)
    Dim objForm As Form
    Dim FlgLoaded As Boolean
    Dim FlgShown As Boolean
    FlgLoaded = False
    FlgShown = False
    For Each objForm In VB.Forms
        If (Trim(objForm.name) = Trim(Myform.name)) Then
            FlgLoaded = True
            If objForm.Visible Then
                 FlgShown = True
            End If
            Exit For
        End If
    Next
    MsgBox "Load Status: " & FlgLoaded & vbCrLf & "Show Status:" & FlgShown
End Sub

Regards

Thank you , what you are saying is if it's loaded, check if its visible. Works perfectly. What is Trim in the code you gave me? I did it without, is there any reason it's needed?

Hi,

If it is for ur Timer Form..(previous thread), then I suggest an alternative solution. When u show the subForm in Modal, Disable the Timer, And Enable the timer In UnLoad event of the subForm. This way u need not check if the form is loaded/visible and all the stuff..

Thank you so much for that idea. My project is just getting bigger and bigger and every time I add another thing, I have to make sure it doesn't cause any problems to my old stuff. I'm at the end now and trying out every single possibility, to make sure it all works.
