i used this sample on access 2010 and two mode viewed full screen mod.

main access windows code dosn’t run.

please correct!

I have done some work with API, but the event and coordinates are difficult and get out of screen when move my frmStatusBar accordingly.

Do You have a suggestion regarding this?! Regards, Justin

Option Compare Database Option Explicit ‘Das wirklich komplette Ausblenden geht mit API. ‘Im Deklarationsbereich des Formularmodules in deinem Übersichtsformular:

Const SW_HIDE = 0 ‘in A00 ist dazu noch nötig: Const SW_NORMAL = 1

Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib “user32″ _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long

‘In der Öffnen-Sub deines Übersichtsformulares: ‘open a sub in ur main form

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Dim hWindow As Long Dim nResult As Long Dim nCmdShow As Long

hWindow = Application.hWndAccessApp
nCmdShow = SW_HIDE
nResult = ShowWindow(ByVal hWindow, ByVal nCmdShow)</p>
<p>'in A00 ist dazu noch nötig:
' ONLY in ACC 2000 u additional need :</p>
<p>Call ShowWindow(Me.hwnd, SW_NORMAL)

End Sub

‘ Code to reactivate the Main ACC window placed on close in the START Form

Private Sub Form_Close() Dim hWindow As Long Dim nResult As Long Dim nCmdShow As Long

hWindow = Application.hWndAccessApp
nCmdShow = SW_NORMAL
nResult = ShowWindow(ByVal hWindow, ByVal nCmdShow)

End Sub

EFFECT: the develop View responds normal

the tool works fine… one thing is to remark… the obvious mistake mistake(error) of ACC on the command “hide” and “show” window….it will cause that the main window is getting wider then the actual screen… obviously ACC is extent the screen to double the area and move the hidden MAIN window in this area… my suggestion is :

Declare Function ShowWindow Lib “user32″ _ (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal nCmdShow As Long) _ As Long

Function AccessMaximize() Dim ma%

ma% = ShowWindow(hWndAccessApp, 2)

End Function

’0 = Hide ’1 = Restore ’2 = Minimize ’3 = Maximize

Is it possible to have the layer just fill a form on a database which has the Access Window hidden?

That is to say just the visible form greyed out while a smaller popup > modal is open?

Thanks,

Garry

Version 2000 works fine…Thanks…

i have 2 questions.

a) did you saw lebans code for conditional formmating? b) i love excel conditional formatting specially with the icons and all that stuff . . ., do you think we can use that in access 2007?

Nice Gentoo logo placement

I used to have code from lebans.com to highlight the current row in datasheet or continuos form, also to highlight the row based on some conditions, (the access embeed conditional format only supports 3)

lebans created a solution for this, but now is outdated, i think you can revise the api’s and create a new solution(maybe give it to microsoft :-) )

The thing is that if you look into excel you have a great conditional formatting options even with icons and all that stuff, but that doesnt exist for excel.

What do you say, can you do it?

Regarding the colour formatting of the code, I’m afraid that it just looks that way because I use a code syntax highlighter in my web pages…

what editor you use for the vba editor that shows the line numbers and that alternate row hightlight.

It looks very nice and atractive to work on that :-)

Please share . . .

It just work with the old module like in example #1

Why complicate your life by using a class module, for my experience the purpose of the class module is to expose functionality of your project outside your project, but why to this simple code.

I will appreciate if you really explain.

By the way, great work, i will definetly use this in my projects.
