But a I found out today, the When event does not work either if Visible is set .F. So your proposal made me thinking again, because I by using the When event I have the additional effect to avoid to use the Timer object at all. So I finally came up with a rather simple solution.

I would have considered putting it "off-limits", something like:
TextBox.Left = 1000, but making it too small to see is also an interesting option.
