iLogic to close/hide an open form

Anonymous — Fri, 24 May 2013 06:51:45 GMT

Hi!

I'm wondering if there is a way to either close or hide an open form with iLogic? Something like the opposite of iLogicForm.Show.

The VBA method for closing a form is .Hide, but this seems to not work in iLogic. This is a good example of why we need an object browser for iLogic.

Hi,

Hope you have got answer for the same. Just answering, so that some one can use this method.

There is no direct method to hide form by ilogic as said by Mr.Mike. Behalf of that you can use the rule as button to hide the form by choosing option "Close and Run the rule"

and in that rule you can trigger show form

@Anonymous I'm trying to find this "on click action" in my form builder, because I want to close my form before the ilogic rule closes my open document. I just can't find this option or else I misundersstand this solution.

In my form builder (Inventor 2016), the above options are not showed.

All I can choos under behavior is the name of the parameter to activate/desactivates this button.

Is this a version problem?

Thanks

Hi! I could be wrong but the option is only available if you have a rule and you are trying to define a new form. If you select the rule in the form dialog, you will see the option in the panel at the bottom.

Many thanks!

Hi, thanks for your answer.

I tried it again and found out, that these options are only available for document rules but not for global rules.

Anyways, I found a solution for the problem here:
