Re-activate Current Form?

[ilovevbsomuchimmad]

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to re-activate the current form? I have some coding which is in the form activate, and that coding needs to be run a few times but the only way I can get it to work is clicking on to another form and returning to the form. I have tried me.activate, or frmmain.activate but none seem to work.

Put the Form_Activate code in its own sub, and call that sub from Form_Activate and whenever else it is needed.

ilovevbsomuchimmad,

Put the Form_Activate code in its own sub, and call that sub from Form_Activate and whenever else it is needed.

Create a sub like below and put ONLY there the code you have in the Activated event handler.

private sub GiveItAName()
   ' the code
end sub

So the Activated eh becomes:

    Private Sub Form1_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Activated
        GiveItAName()
    End Sub

Whenever and wherever your write the line 'GiveItAName()', the code in that sub will be executed.


------------
[Not recommented] If for some reason you want to keep the code only in the activated sub, call it like: Form1_Activated(Nothing, Nothing)
