Hidden forms

[solidstore]

Can you tell me how to create a completely hidden windows form. I'm using it just for its message pump. I best I can do at the moment is hide from view, taskbar but no the Alt-Tab menu. And the user can still close it when it has focus and using Alt-F4. I'm using a hidden form as I want to pass data using BeginInvoke between threads.

Well, have you thought of setting the forms visible property to false before calling its show method?

That doesn't work! Calling show just set visible back to true. Also the form still shows up in the taskbar and Alt-Tab menu. Instead I'm just using a Control instead of a Form.

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, however, do you need to call Show? just instantiate the form, then do what you need.
