when my form loads, it doesn't instantly display properly.
i've tried doevents + refresh but both comboboxes on my form take a few
seconds to display properly.
i've got a backgroundworke r that i call in the form_load event, that loads
12000+ items into a listview but that shouldn't slow the loading down?

Paul,
Yes, that could be slowing the form down, as the loading of the items is
most likely happen synchronously to the rest of the form. Maybe add a
splash screen from the Add New Item dialog, and link it in using the project
properties. It will show on startup while the form loads.
Or implement an asynchronous loading mechanism?
Hope this helps,
Steve

Hi,
Try using BeginUpdate and EndUpdate methods while filling ComboBoxes and
ListView.By using BeginUpdate/Endupdate the control would not redraw itself
every time you add items to it.For example,
Try
With cbo
.BeginUpdate()
.ValueMember = SomeValueMember
.DisplayMember = SomeDisplayMemb er
.DataSource = dt
.EndUpdate()
End With
Catch ex As Exception
' Custom error handler
End Try

Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards.

no the loading of the items is on a different thread. asynchronous

I am using graphics as backgrounds for forms,buttons,labels etc.
The question is: is it faster to load all graphics from files on app start
or
to use it embeded (places in editor during design).
Reason for my question is that application has 5mb, while without graphics
it has cca 400kb.
Graphic files (bmps) take about 200kb (in program, they are repeated many
times, ie almost all labels (around 200) have same background image)).

Hi,
Something strange happens when I run my vb2005-project. The startup form (form1) displays normally at first instance. After that you can show a dialog(form2) with a button_click. When you close the dialog with another button_click some data (mainly labels.text) must be loaded on form1. But when that happens form1 is automatically minimized and comes back in a while when all the data is loaded. This does not happen if I have no other...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
