Set a property of an unopened form...

[Joey Picerno]

When I set the background image of a form whether it is opened already or not. It doesnt work. I have an MDI form with the option of changing backgrounds. When one of these is selected it uses an image from my.resources. The MDI background changes but the other forms backgrounds that are supposed to change do not. Not when these forms are opened and not when they are closed... HELP!!!!!! (Sorry, Dave, I thought I had figured it out...)

Well, you probably want to add a property that stores the background image to use, and then uses that image right away if the form is open, or reads it when it is opened. If it's not working when your form is open, then your code must be quite wrong.  How are you accessing the other forms ?
