Sure, I get that when actually RUNing. What I am really after is how to
determine that a control or form is running in (or being run by) the IDE. I
have a situation where some code needs to reference the Application object,
which works perfectly at runtime, but falls over in the IDE when trying to
display the form in design mode, because the Application object doesn't
exist until runtime.
