Question Minimize Application

[ismailr]

Hi,

I have a form in my db. It has button to minimize the application. These code I copied from MS site to minimize the application.

Once I click on “Minimize Button” it minimize access application. This same function I wanted to have on minimize control of the form instead of button on form. Intention is to minimize the application if user click on minimize button of the form.
How I can achieve it? Please advise.

Thanking you.
Ismail

There is no On Minimize Event so it can't be done within Access in response to the Minimize button. It may be able to be done via an API that captures the button click or checks the WindowState. It would be complex.

Instead you could remove the Min Max buttons from the form and provide the functionality with a button inside the form.

Thank you very much for the response.

Can someone share the code for API to capture the Minimize button with detail steps for it.

Thanks

I doubt that anyone has ever written code to do what you want.

You might be better looking for the code to entirely hide the Application Window. It is used to display the forms without the Access window showing at all. This has been done before.

Hello Galaxiom,
Thanks, even if I get a solution to hide the access window will serve my purpose.
Can you share the link of the previous post to hide access window. Thanks
Ismail
