Hey I know this one!!!! I've actually never done this, but knew I had it somewhere in my notes.
To make a form invisible, check Alpha-Blend and set thevalue to 0.On form after start eep, do whatever, thenPROPERTY RBASE_FORM ALPHABLENDVALUE 255 Karen -----Original Message----- From: Doug Hamilton <[email protected]> To: R:Base List <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Feb 7, 2020 11:45 am Subject: [RBASE-L] - Hide form while repositioning When a form is first opened, how do I hide it until it is in a desired location? Forms normally open in the center of the screen. I have an On After Start EEP that uses PROPERTY RBASE_FORM LEFT 'nnn' and PROPERTY RBASE_FORM TOP 'nnn' to locate the form elsewhere. The form briefly appears in the center of the screen and then locates to the assigned position. What I want to do is have the equivalent of Hide-On-Startup for the form, position it and then issue a PROPERTY RBASE_FORM VISIBLE 'TRUE'. I tried PROPERTY RBASE_FORM VISIBLE 'FALSE' as the first line in the On-After-Start EEP but it was too late - the form was already visible. PROPERTY RBASE_FORM VISIBLE 'FALSE' didn't work in the On Before Start EEP cuz you can't hide something that isn't there yet :) I played around with Gravitation on New Form Behavior but couldn't get what I wanted. BTW, the PROPERTY LEFT and TOP are in a RUN SELECT that is called in the form's On After Start EEP; I run that in all my forms to set Captions, some hints and generic form stuff. Ideas?
