Hi Caroline,

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Yes, the control does have a visible property and using this would be perfect, however the trick is knowing when to turn it off and on. For example, I can set the ocx.image.visible = .F. as the first line of the resize method. However, at what point is the resize event completed so that I can ocx.image.visible = .T.?

This is probably a simple question that requires some understanding of when the method has completed its work.

Regards...Rex
