latency when loading forms

Hi all,

I had create my own new Form. however, when ever i call the showdialog
i take 2-3s to load for the first time only.

anyway sample code to performance the things as below:
i.e. preload the forms once? create a loading screen when loading? ..

also any tips to tune the time performance when loading form the first time?

Thanks a lot.

try loading the form when you load your main form, but have its opacity at 0,
then when u want to show it, just change the opacity to 1

You don't even need to do the opacity thing.

Load the form but don't show it....

Dim F as new Form

That is the part that takes time. Then do
F.Show to show it

Thanks chris, so how to make a loading screen while I doing this?

Windy,

Can you show us some code, because depending of course of the computer and
the load on that, should it come direct.

do a search online for "splash screen vb.net". There are different ways
of doing it if you are using 2005 or 2003
