ActiveX Control Instance

How can you tell if an ActiveX control is a Design time or a Run Time instance. I want to show an image during Design Time, and hide it during Run Time.

Re: ActiveX Control Instance

Use this code inside your control

If UserControl.UserMode Then
'Run Time
Else
'Design Time
End If

Thank You

UserMode is a member of the ambient properties.

UserControl.Ambient.UserMode

Re: ActiveX Control Instance

BTW, if you want to make all of the control hidden at runtime but showing at designtime you might be better using the InvisibleAtRuntime property.
