Preventing forms from showing up before their layout is completed

Hi,

When my forms show up (i.e. visible set to true), they show up immediatly
while their components (labels etc...) are still being displayed.
This gives the application a very unprofessional feeling. I would like to
know if there's a command to fix that.
I would like my components (forms, panels) to not show up until everything
in them is processed and ready to be displayed.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Do you use a huge number of controls?

Hi Herfried,

Well I don't know what do you mean exactly by huge, but the panel i'm
setting to visible for instance has four panels inside it, with about 3 to 4
controls in each one.
