Leave Window Open

Hello,

I posted the wrong question late the other night.
What i really want is to find a program i have seen that is an example
of emulating a VB program with VBA

This program allows you to interface with autocad with the userform
still displayed on the screen.

I have several programs that present the user with various design
information that need to interface with autocad at times, at other times
just need to reference.

It would really help if the user could flip back and forth between the
acad window and the User Form (which remains open, or is behind )

Of course i know i can show or hide the form under program control, but
this program i saw somewhere allows it to be on the same level with the acad
window...

maybe by accessing the windows API?

Thanks in advance for any response..

Does setting the showmodal property of the form to false help.
I haven't looked at the following in too much detail to know if you can use it but I think it is what you want to do.

Hey thanks a lot nathan this other thing looks real interesting, but for

use it but I think it is what you want to do.

 

Dang it looks like the modeless form won't let me type in a text box!
And the Showmodal property is not available at runtime!
I'm still looking for that program i saw somewhere, it wasn't third party it
was some shareware example on one of the ACAD VB helpsites...

just cant remember now which one

 

You need the AcFocusControl on your form, and set the
KeepFocus property to True.
