Hidden Spell checking dialog behind the userform

[Jeffery B Paarsa]

Hello,

I am sure you are going to say this question does not blong to this Forum as
Visaul Studio VB.NET said so... So I am being given run around for the last
few days and I don't know how I solve my problem...

In a VB 2005 App. after collecting the data through user form I open a word
document and populate the collected data to the Texfields of the Word
document then I run the CheckSpelling and print it... Here is the code:
FaxHDF.Bookmarks.Item("FXMSG").Range.Text() = Me.FXMSG.Text
FaxHDF.FXPatient.value = Me.FXPatient.Checked
FaxHDF.FXOther.value = Me.FXOther.Checked
FaxHDF.Fields.Update()
FaxHDF.CheckSpelling()
FaxHDF.PrintOut()
FaxHDF.Close(False)

My problem is that the spell checking dialog box hides behind the userform
and gives the impression to the user that application is stopped/abended/in a
loop and not working.
How can I bring the spell checking dialog to the front of the userform?

I want this spelling dialog box to be focused on top of my userform and not
to be hidden on the back of userform... so user sees his/her spelling problem
and take necessary action...

VB Forum says spell checking dialog blongs to Word and through VB you can do
anything and put the dialog focused or brought in front of userform...

Hide the UserForm before calling the spelling checker.

Have you tried "sandwiching" your userform between a hide/show pair:

Me.Hide

ActiveDocument.CheckSpelling

Me.Show

 

[Jeffery B Paarsa]

That can be done in VBA but I have tried it before and it does not work in
VB. It gives an error "UserForm is not a member of Project.Userform"...
etc...

Thank you... Yes it worked...

And what if you omit the Me.show? In other words, hide the userform.
