Are you going to transfer control over to AutoCAD after hiding the form? A
simple but not-so-elegant solution could be to use Utility.GetString or the
like to get a keyword or string or simply an "enter", then show your form
again.

Just a thought....

Thanks Jacob that is something I thought of doing but is a very
NOT-SO-ELEGANT way of doing it.

I will be transferring control over to autocad and I can have it prompt to
return focues but the puropose
of hiding the form in the first place is so the user can view 3 or 4 objects
so a quick solution would be
to keep it hidden while the CTRL key is pressed then shown when it is
released.

Currently I have Down/Up Arrows which say Hide or Show Form and all it does
is change the height
but you can still see the title bar! and is sometimes in the way of items
that need to be viewed.

thanks jose
