    [02/03] Forms load slow

    Hi!

    What reason can be that the forms are loaded slowly ? Some times I can see it the repainting.

    It goes slow without loading data. Visually the load of controls are slow

    regards

    it's mostly because you have slow cpu or low memory.
    try not adding too much code in the Form_Load event

    I suspect that a relatively small amount of memory would be the most likely culprit. How much system RAM do you have, and which OS?

    Ive noticed the same problem with programs made in VS. Even with no code, a form with a lot of controls made in VB, is much slower than a form with the same amount of controls made in C++/MFC.

    PS:
    I have a 2.2GHz AMD Athlon XP
    512MB memory
    and NVidia MX 440 128MB graphics card

    I guess, you are talking about VS 2005 then, cause your hardware are compitible with vs 2003.

    The only way to solve this problem is looking into your windows settings and try to increase the size of the "page file"
