RepaintObject Method

RepaintObject Method

See Also         Example         Applies To

The RepaintObject method carries out the RepaintObject action in Visual Basic. For more information on how the action and its arguments work, see the action topic.

Syntax

DoCmd.RepaintObject [objecttype, objectname]

The RepaintObject method has the following arguments.

Argument Description
objecttype One of the following intrinsic constants:
  acDataAccessPage
acDefault (default)
acDiagramacForm
acMacro
acModule
acQuery
acReport
acServerView
acStoredProcedure

acTable
objectname A string expression that's the valid name of an object of the type selected by the objecttype argument.

Remarks

Using the RepaintObject method with no arguments (the default constant, acDefault, is assumed for the objecttype argument) repaints the active window.

The RepaintObject method of the DoCmd object was added to provide backwards compatibility for running the RepaintObject method in Visual Basic code in Microsoft Access 95. If you want to repaint a form, it's recommended that you use the existing Repaint method of the Form object instead.
