SHOW() vs. Visible = .T.

[Guest_imported]

What's the exact differences between using Object.SHOW() and Object.Visible = .T.?

Thanks

Hi

The Show method sets a form or form set's Visible property to true (.T.) and makes the form the active object. So the difference is that SHOW() method makes the form the current active object while visible=.t. does not make this.

However, Forms contained within a form set retain their Visible property setting. If a form's Visible property is set to false (.F.), the Show method for the form set does not show the form.

Hope this helps you

Object.Show() will also execute any code in the .Show() method, so you can conditionally set property values etc in the .Show() method if required.

The show method also enables you to show a form explicitly as modal or modeless, suing a parameter.
