Form loaded

[J Lindroos]

I'm making a progress window to be used in my program to show that something is happening. My program calls to the window.Show method and then the window is shown, while the program is working it should show progress. Also it should have a status line that the program can change during the progress. My problem is that the form is not loaded correctly until the work is done. So you just see the form without anything happening on it and when the work is done the form is hided.

Any ideas?

Try adding DoEvents...

I agree,

A DoEvents at the end of the form_load

also, in the past i have only put initial set up info in the load,
and put the workings in a private sub that is called from the form_activate. this is very handy if you need to pass some properties before showing your form, as you know, setting a property will load the form if it is not already loaded.

have fun

Thanks
Of course, DoEvents
I don't know why I forgot it, it must be the age

Couldn't you pop up a Splash screen that shows the progress while the main form is loading?

DO you not read any previous posts MotoxPro?

Because you seem to do this quite often

There is no point in saying the same thing as other people for a 3rd time
