Syntax
|
AppHide
[name$]
|
Description
|
Hides the named application.
|
Comments
|
If the named application is already hidden, the
AppHide
statement will have no effect.
The name$ parameter is a
String
containing the name of the desired application. If it is omitted, then the
AppHide
statement hides the active application.
AppHide
generates a runtime error if the named application is not enabled, as is the case if that application is displaying a modal dialog box.
|
Example
|
This example hides Program Manager.
Sub Main()
'See whether Program Manager is running.
If AppFind$("Program Manager") = "" Then Exit Sub
AppHide "Program Manager"
MsgBox "Program Manager is now hidden. Press OK to show it once again."
AppShow "Program Manager"
End Sub

Notes
|
The name$ parameter is the exact string appearing in the title bar of the named application's main window. If no application is found whose title exactly matches name$, then a second search is performed for applications whose title string begins with name$. If more than one application is found that matches name$, then the first application encountered is used.
