Deactivate Event

  • Article

Occurs when a container object, such as a form, is no longer active because none of its contained objects has the focus. For a toolbar, occurs when the toolbar is hidden using the Hide method. For a ProjectHook, occurs when you click away from the Project window or issue an ACTIVATE WINDOW command for a different window.

PROCEDURE Object.Deactivate

Remarks

The Activate and Deactivate events occur only when you are moving the focus within an application. Moving the focus to or from a form in another application doesn't trigger either event. The Deactivate event doesn't occur when unloading a form.

Whenever a new object is activated, either programmatically or interactively, the Deactivate event for the object previously active is triggered and the Activate event for the new object is triggered.
