Form.Hide() or Form.Visable won't work. :(

[akowald]

For some reason Form1.hide() won't hide the form. I run this command at
form load. I need it to hide because I'm placing an icon on the system
tray. Any ideals? I probley changed something that messed it up.

Thanks for reading,

AK

AK,

Can you post your code?

Their is really nothing to post. My form designer code looks like this:

I run this.hide() at form_load.

Well, you say that you run "this.hide()" at form_load... you could post
_that_ code.

namespace teklinks
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
this.Hide();
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Hide();
}
}
}

Hiding the form inside the form's load event will not work.

If you don't want the form to be visible, then don't call it's Show or
ShowDialog method. Instead, put your icon in the system tray inside of
your main method. Then call Application.Run without any arguments.
