Load Statement

Description

Loads an object but doesn't show it.

Syntax

Load object

The object placeholder represents an object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

Remarks

When an object is loaded, it is placed in memory, but isn't visible. Use the Show method to make the object visible. Until an object is visible, a user can't interact with it. The object can be manipulated programatically in its Initialize event procedure.
