minimise vba form while viewing window ?

help ????????/

 

You should try setting the Forms "ShowModal" to False. This will allow the form to stay on the screen and you can then use AutoCAD commands. Just move the form out of the way.

the trouble is the form is open b4 i plot and when i do a window plot its in the way and if any of the buttons are clicked on it produces an error.

 

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. There are all sorts of monkey business things you could do to side step the problem. For example you
can have the form keep track of where the user is in its use. Then have the form disable and enable the problem areas as necessary. Keeping buttons
within form frames might make this task easier because I think enabling and disabling a frame also effects the frame contents. You can also have the
form colapse itself and/or more itself out of the way. Clicking (better if double click) on the form body does trigger an event. Use that to produce
a window shade effect. Keep in mind that you can change the form caption and any command button captions or any other such items on the fly. So you
could change form's caption to "Double click me to expand" when it is in the colapsed state or change a command button's caption and function on the
fly. And so on.
