Example

This Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro shows how to use the ShowGrid property to hide the grid. To restore the grid after running this macro, set the ShowGrid property to True.

Public Sub ShowGrid_Example() 

    'Check whether current window is a drawing window.
    If ActiveWindow.Type = visDrawing Then

        'Hide the grid. 
        ActiveWindow.ShowGrid = False

    Else

        'Tell the user why you're not hiding the grid. 
         MsgBox "Current window is not a drawing window.", vbOKOnly, "Show Grid"

    End If
  
End Sub
