long load of form

[pgag45]

Hey there,

I have a form, which I am using as an output, which contains about 180 labels, and 90 images. The visible property of each image is initially False, and depending on the output I change the visible property of 15 of those images to True. This works all fine, besides the fact, that it literally takes about 1.5 minutes to literally open this form. Do I have too many objects in this form? Or is there a possible work around?

Thanks!

Thats a lot of controls. Its probably the images taking the time to load in before allowing the form to show.

If it is a vba/vb form you might be able to use an image control but set to a blank/small pictures then after loading, change the location of the pic tp the one you want to show. Sounds like either way it will take time.

Why would you need 207 controls on a form?
What does it do?
What other options are available for you to display differently?

why not let the images be in the same folder and have the program load them when needed instead of having them all active. That will use less memory and will speed things up for the most part.
