Hi,

i got a persitent form, i need to show from time to time. I placed a "Hide"
button on it, which just calls me.hide(). When i use the X-Button from the
Form, everything works fine, but when using the hide function, the form is
not shown any more. What can i do?

Thanks in advance,
Gustavo
 
One (Hide) changes the Visible property, the other changes the WindowState
to Minimized.

Are you using the SDF? Let's do a case study.

sorry, but i don't want the form to be minimized! The form is shown modal
and has to be "closed", but not be disposed or just minimized.

thanks so far,
Gustavo
 
The change the "MinimizeBox" property to false and the X will become OK,
which closes the Form. Hide does not close it either.

If you don't want to minimize or dispose the form, cache the handle to the
form. So long you can access the handle, the CLR will not collect and
dispose of it.

Cheers
Simon.
