Hi,

I was wondering is it possible to show\hide ADXOlForm form (ADXOlFormsCollectionItem) programmatically?

It seems that the following code does not produce result as expected: 


AddinExpress.OL.ADXOlForm selectedForm = null;
for (int i = 0; i < adxOlFormsCollectionItem2.FormInstanceCount; i++)
{
    selectedForm = adxOlFormsCollectionItem2.FormInstances(i);
    if (selectedForm is frmTaskViews)
    {
        if (SETTINGS.DefaultView == Enums.ViewsOptions.NONE.ToString())
        {
            (selectedForm as frmTaskViews).Hide();
        }
        else
        {
            (selectedForm as frmTaskViews).Show();
        }
    }
}


Any example with source code would be welcomed!

Regards, G. Vidic

Hi Andrei,

I have a settings window where I want to set forms visibility for my ADXOlForm form, so, concept from your example does not work for me.
Any other idea how to show\hide the form from within method in "public class AddinModule".

Regards, Goran

Hi Goran,

To prevent your form from being shown, you may choose to cancel the ADXBeforeFormInstanceCreate event of the Outlook Forms Manager or, in the ADXBeforeFormShow event of the form, set <theForm>.Visible = false. Accordingly, if you don't do the above, the form is shown.
