The object placeholder represents an object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. If object is omitted, the UserForm with the focus is assumed to be object.

Remarks

When an object is hidden, it's removed from the screen and its Visible property is set to False. A hidden object's controls aren't accessible to the user, but they are available programmatically to the running application, to other processes that may be communicating with the application through Automation, and in Windows, to Timer control events.

When a UserForm is hidden, the user can't interact with the application until all code in the event procedure that caused the UserForm to be hidden has finished executing.

If the UserForm isn't loaded when the Hide method is invoked, the Hide method loads the UserForm but doesn't display it.

Example

The following example assumes two UserForms in a program. In UserForm1's Initialize event, UserForm2 is loaded and shown. When the user clicks UserForm2, it is hidden and UserForm1 appears. When UserForm1 is clicked, UserForm2 is shown again.

I'm working on a VBA project based in a workbook. The code opens a new workbook and calls an external API which downloads and inserts a bunch of data in multiple worksheets of this new workbook. I deactivated Screen Updating (Application.Screenupdating = False) so initially the screen stays focused on the original workbook while the API downloads data on the other workbook in the background. However, the screen switches to the new workbook once the API inserts data. How can I prevent this from happening? Thanks!

You could try using the ShowWindow API function:

For example I had to replace a clutch. Well in order to access the gearbox you first have to remove the drive axles from each wheel. Car mechanic simulator 2014 free. Well I was currently working through the 'engine hub' and although I could see the drive axles and actually mouse over them, it wouldn't let me work on them until I backed out of the engine hub, walked over to the left wheel hub, remove the wheel, then remove the drive axle, do the same for the right wheel, then go back to the engine hub and remove the gearbox.

Or alternatively, the LockWindowUpdate API function (thanks to Chip Pearson, http://www.cpearson.com/excel/vbe.aspx):
