Negotiate Property
See Also Example Applies To
Sets a value that determines whether a control that can be aligned is displayed when an active object on the form displays one or more toolbars. Not available at run time.
Settings
The Negotiate property has these settings:
| Setting | Description |
| True | If the control is aligned within the form (the Align property is set to a nonzero value), the control remains visible when an active object on the form displays a toolbar. |
| False | (Default) The control isn't displayed when an active object on the form displays a toolbar. The toolbar of the active object is displayed in place of the control. |
Remarks
The Negotiate property exists for all controls with an Align property. You use the Align property to align the control within a Form or MDIForm object; however, the toolbar negotiation occurs only on the MDIForm. The aligned control must be on the MDIForm.
If the NegotiateToolbars property is set to False, the setting of the Negotiate property has no effect.
