hi all,

I am using a multi purposes form to show messages for user.

I am calling it through a routine from anywhere in my project.

this form loads a heavy backgroung image so it is not right to reload it on every simple message i show to the user.

I figured out to declare it as static

VB Code:
  1. static x as new frmmsg

  2. x.label1.text = "This is my message"

  3. x.showdialogue()


my question is, should i use in the form it self

me.close or me.hide.

i want to use the same form over and over and i dont want to kill and recreate it every time. i think me.hide is suitable.

Can anyone corrects me ???


thx in advace
