Show-Hide

[Dafly]

I am doing a program for work which controls another program which controls a Laser system. I created the main parts that talk to the other program but i am haveing trouble with showing and hiding the program i am controlling. I have my main program that starts as soon as the computer starts it covers the screen and is set to topmost so no one can access any other programs within windows, then when the user fills out the information and press's Setup (A button) it loads a program only 1 time which is needed, and they fill the info on that one out. then they click back onto my main program to hide the program i am controlling. Now when i do that it works fine for about 5 times and then it will not show again when i press setup. Basicly all i want to beable to do is show and hide a program that is being controlled by my topmost program. If this is to long winded and no one can understand it ill get the code i am using from my client and I will post it here but PLEASE HELP!!

Thank you,
Jeremy H.

If I didn't get you wrong then try this:

Form1.Visible = False
Form1.ShowInTaskBar = False

or make the app's icon, to a very known icon (such as ICQ) and download an OCX that minimizes the app to the System Tray.
