Load Statement

Loads an object but doesn't show it.

Syntax

Load object

The object placeholder represents an object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

Remarks

When an object is loaded, it is placed in memory, but isn't visible. Use the Show method to make the object visible. Until an object is visible, a user can't interact with it. The object can be manipulated programmatically in its Initialize event procedure.

Example

In the following example, UserForm2 is loaded during UserForm1's Initialize event. Subsequent clicking on UserForm2 reveals UserForm1.

' This is the Initialize event procedure for UserForm1 Private Sub UserForm_Initialize() Load UserForm2 UserForm2.Show End Sub ' This is the Click event of UserForm2 Private Sub UserForm_Click() UserForm2.Hide End Sub ' This is the click event for UserForm1 Private Sub UserForm_Click() UserForm2.Show End Sub
