How make Form Flash Ms Access With VBA

 To make a form flash in Microsoft Access using VBA, you can use the FlashWindow function from the User32 Windows API. This function allows you to make a window flash to alert the user that the window has received attention. Here is an example of how you can use the FlashWindow function to make a form flash in Access:

Private Declare Function FlashWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal bInvert As Long) As Long

Private Sub cmdFlashForm_Click()

  ' Get the handle of the form window

  Dim hwnd As Long

  hwnd = Me.hWnd

  ' Make the form window flash

  FlashWindow hwnd, True

End Sub

In this example, we are using the FlashWindow function to make the form window flash when the user clicks a command button. The FlashWindow function takes two arguments: the handle of the window to flash, and a Boolean value that specifies whether to flash the window or stop flashing it. In this case, we are passing the handle of the form window (which we obtain using the hWnd property of the Me object) and True to flash the window.

You can also use the FlashWindowEx function from the User32 Windows API to control the flashing behavior of the window. This function allows you to specify the number of times to flash the window, the rate at which the window should flash, and whether the flashing should stop when the user restores the window or when the window receives focus. Here is an example of how you can use the FlashWindowEx function to control the flashing behavior of a form window:

Private Declare Function FlashWindowEx Lib "user32" (ByRef pfwi As FLASHWINFO) As Long

Private Type FLASHWINFO

  cbSize As Long

  hwnd As Long

  dwFlags As Long

  uCount As Long

  dwTimeout As Long

End Type

Private Const FLASHW_ALL = &H3

Private Const FLASHW_TIMERNOFG = &HC

Private Sub cmdFlashForm_Click()

  ' Create a FLASHWINFO structure

  Dim fwi As FLASHWINFO

  fwi.cbSize = Len(fwi)

  fwi.hwnd = Me.hWnd

  fwi.dwFlags = FLASHW_ALL Or FLASHW_TIMERNOFG

  fwi.uCount = 3

  fwi.dwTimeout = 0

  ' Make the form window flash

  FlashWindowEx fwi

End Sub

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
