[RESOLVED] [2008] Hide Form1 On Load

[perito]

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.Hide()
    End Sub

I've tried everything but the form is not hiding
how to hide Form1 on the Load?

Your Hide() call will execute before the form is shown, so it will have no effect. You will have to use the Shown event instead of the Load event.

Another option so theres no flicker of showing and hiding straight away is to set the opacity to zero in form load and also setting the showintaskbar to false.

I agree. You could even set the opacity and showintakskbar in the form designer.
