Good afternoon, all. I have posted a question similar to this one before, but I wanted to see if I could get some fresh ideas. I have written a rather large project to handle data entry. Some of the forms have a lot of controls on them, and I am trying to get this thing finished and out the door.
But I am having a big problem with the screen painting. When the app closes one form and opens another, it takes a minute for the entire form to paint the screen. It's just looks sloppy.
I have used the LockWindow and UnLockWindow API calls to manage the screen flicker on updates, but I can't seem to solve this other problem with the forms loading.
Is there a way I can have the things load when the program starts up without actually displaying the screen? Will that help with the problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
