Application becomes unresponsive when minimized/idle

[visualBEER310]

Hi everyone.

I am developing a Application however whenever I minimize it, after leaving it open for let's say roughly 2 - 10 minutes, when I go back to try to open it (click from taskbar from it being minimized) I find it's unresponsive (not responding) therefore does not un-minimize itself. I have checked and Task Manager also tells me it is unresponsive at that time. Some times after repeatedly clicking it stops being unresponsive and re-shows, however that is "sometimes"* and I need this fixed for my application release.

If you were wondering, the form has no border style (formborderstyle = none). I do this because I have drawn my own custom form style/appearance )(window) like modern applications/software nowadays.

Any ideas? This bug is really killing me, I can't seem to figure out the problem

What OS are you on?
What IDE are you using?
Does it happen when you are debugging or after the app is deployed or both?

Maybe post some code?

Geez...there are a myriad of things that could be could be going on and need checked. I would start by looking at the Windows event log for some kind of clue but that is just a "poke and hope" approach. Is a database involved? Is it just sitting on a desk top or on the web? There are some top notch programmers at this site. Maybe you should back up and start again by telling us more about the app and its platform.
