How
-
Im planning that when the form loads it is invisible. So what i did was in the constructor of the FORM I called the form or set the form to hide by setting the VISIBLE property to false or called the hide function. It doesnt work.. so I used the form load event, and i set the properties and or function there and it doesnt work.. so i used the form shown event, it worked but the problem is, the form shows then dissappears and its kinda look ugly that way.. what i want is that when executed the form is invisible without a trace.

Set the opacity to 0 in the form properties.

if you want your form invisible, why use form? i mean how about just create an object that hold all information (field, method, properties) of your "invisible form". hope it helps.

The "why" is irrelevant. If you can't help the guy, refrain from posting.

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001Just make a suggestion. If you don't need a visual object why you use that?. You can create an object substantially similar of "invisible form" and you don't have to set Visible property to false. :laugh:

You don't see to get it. The original poster asked how to do something - NOT for alternatives to what he was doing or opinions about his coding. Answering someone's question AS POSTED is a lot more important that trying to prove you're clever (which you aren't).

I don't need to prove that I'm clever or not. I know you are MVP in CP, IMO nothing special with your knowledge. In this forum, peoples can share all possible answer to help others as you do with writing all your articles. aren't you?

Many people don't know what to ask for, how to ask for it, or where to ask for it. If you only ever answer exactly what people ask for, you often can not give them the answer that they want, or the answer that they need.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

If a person's communication skills aren't adequate, maybe they should learn better English. That *is* the language used on this site.

How could that guys question have been interpreted as "give me an alternative". He wanted to set the form to be invisible when it started up. I gave him the solution to *that* question. I don't care why he wants to do it. I do some pretty whacked out stuff myself (like most of us have), and I personally don't like being quizzed as to my motives, or have some nimrod in a foreign country second-guessing me - I just want an answer to the question I posted. If you can't get your pointed little heads around that concept, then please don't answer my questions. In any case, this conversation doesn't belong in this forum.
