View 2 RepliesI have a little problem, nothing very serious, but something that anoys me and i can�t solve.
I have a VB.NET windows form project, with a main MDI form containing a menu.
I load all forms with:
Private Sub MostrarFormulario(ByRef formulario As Form)
Try
formulario.MdiParent = Me
formulario.BackgroundImage = Me.BackgroundImage
formulario.BackgroundImageLayout = Me.BackgroundImageLayout
[Code]...
When show the form, i can see all combos / grids / objects being placed and feeded. Its a fraction of second (in fast machines). All my objects placing and loading are made in the Activated event.(because some combos data may have been added/deleted and the app can have multiples form oppened at the same time).
Is there a method for loading everything first (not showing) and then display all at the same time?
