I have a loading form that i want to show when i'm reading something from the serial port. My only problem is that i'm not 100% sure what's with the new stuff like delegates, but i've got it to work with a MyDelegate sub. But to invoke on the loading form, it throws an exception that the window needs a handle before you can invoke... So if I make it visible and then hide it again in the main form load, it works... Any ideas how i could avoid the flicker of the form showing and hiding and how it actually should be done?

Thanks
