Slow repaint of a form WHY?

[aviles1973]

I have a form that is NOT a parent form. When I call a form on top of the underlying one and then close it, it repaints very slowly causing it to like crap! How can I fix this problem? The underlying form has an image set to it also is this why?

Oh man, this could be a number of things. Oddly enough, the first thing to check is your hardware configuration.

I develop on a P3-800 (don't get me started, don't EVEN get me STARTED....), and all my forms render slooooo

Well, not all the time, but enough that I'm used to it. Yet on test machines that mimic what the users have (oddly enough, more powerful than my DEVELOPER machine), the forms load no problem.

So check there first.

The other thing to check is if you're using dynamically created controls. It takes time to loop thru the Controls collection & tell each one to paint.
