Use Me.Hide() into your form_load event. Or try to set form's
visibility property to false.

Use Me.Hide() into your form_load event. Or try to set form's
visibility property to false.
When 'Load' is executed, the form is still not visible. In addition, the
form is shown after the 'Load' event has been executed.

visibility property to false.
If the load event fires, there must have been a .Show before. Doesn't
make sense to Hide something because it's about to be Shown. Instead, I
wouldn't show it.

You can set the position of the form off of the display, like to the right
of the user's screen, then move it back when you want to show it. Works like
a charm for me.
If you do this, don't let the cat sit on the right side of the monitor, so
he's not harmed when he's hit by the form flying over there... ;-)

Be careful of systems with more than one monitor. What is off the
display on your system might be visible on another display on someone
else's system.

OK, in this case setting opacity to %0 seems really working way for
hiding form by default as stated previously.
Give me a teensy amount more credit than that. It pulls the info for the
screen, and positions the forms off the screen, regardless of how many
monitors, or the resolution, etc. :-)

I usually send it to -10000, if they that many monitors than they
deserve to see everything :-)
But in reality, I haven't sent a form off screen since my VB6 days,
now I usually just toggle the opacity between 0% and 99% when I have a
reason to hide and show a form. I do agree with Armin that Sub Main is
a better choice if no interaction is required, or the OP could just
create a service depending on the purpose of the app. And in case
anyone's wondering, whenever I use opacity I only go to 99%, going to
100% causes a flicker because of the way Windows paints forms (it has
two modes, one for opacity and one for no opacity, switching between
the two will flicker the form on painting).

Hi
Is there a way to open a form hidden/invisible while it is populating its
controls, and then make it visible once it is done? I am using the following
code but the form remains visible.
cform = New frmClients
cform.Visible = False ' this does not seem to make form hidden (not
visible)

I must not be understanding something about the use of forms in VB.Net that
is different from VB. I have one form running in the background with an icon
in the task bar. Right clicking on the icon gives you a list of options, one
of which is to show an About form. After this form shows I get an error
saying "Object reference not set to an instance of the object." I have tried
opening the form with
frmAbout.Show
frmAbout.ShowDialog

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
