    Refresh form event.

    This is just an exercise for my own amusement more than anything.

    I have a picture on a form which will change on the change event of a combo box.

    But... there is like a flash on the screen when the image changes. Or even if the image doesn't change.



    I want to stop that from happening. I'm open to suggestions. If there was any possibility to "phase" in and out I don't know.

    alternately.... to at least stop the refresh if the data is the same.. I could make the value a variable. Then do some VBA to compare the older data to the new.. If its the same then do nothing,.

    So assuming the second option is my only one. How would I compare a variable to itself.... before change?

    hopefully that makes sense haha.

    You can use the before update event and test the Value property against the OldValue property.

    never tried it, but in theory it can be done using an unbound object frame and powerpoint - then set the transitions as you require - see this link

    No problem, and no I haven't. I don't work much with images though, so my not seeing it doesn't mean much.
