[CS:DE] Hide Admin Panel While Mapping (Simple)

[Irhymer]

Hey, this is just a simple tutorial on getting rid of the admin panel while mapping **(my preferred steps)**. It got in my way while mapping, & I wasn't sure if there was a way to hide it, so I did it myself. (could just be that I use '/' commands without function keys on my laptop)

**Client: Form Work**

Go to: **frmEdit_Map**

Create a new _CommandButton_
(You can place it between the 'Properties' & 'Send' buttons)

With the new button selected, head to the _Properties Tab_ & name the button "HideAdmin"
*Do the same for _Caption_ so you won't be confused.

**Client: Code Work**

Find:
```
Private Sub HideAdmin_Click()

End Sub

```_or simply double click the "HideAdmin" button._

Paste:
```
frmMain.picAdmin.visible = Not frmMain.picAdmin.visible
```_Before the End Sub_

Should look like:
```
Private Sub HideAdmin_Click()
frmMain.picAdmin.visible = Not frmMain.picAdmin.visible
End Sub

```
**Final Product**


Now simply click that button anytime the Admin Panel gets in the way of your _beautiful_ mapping.  ;)

you can also just make it so when you hit the "map" button on the admin panel, it closes it by doing

```
frmMain.picAdmin.visible = false
```

or you can just hit  "0" on the keypad works all the same

Yea, forgot the mention that this was just my preference, because sometimes I want the panel open. But thanks ;)

In what engine? That doesn't work in CS:DE.

Don't have that key (or any function keys). So I just use slash (/) commmands. (laptop)

Most laptops have an Ins key which will be your insert key. How old is your laptop??

Back on topic. This was an easy fix for your problem though. Very nice tutorial!
