MDI Children slower?

[Jared]

Hi,

I have MDI application and now that I look at the performance of it in
depth, I see setting the parent property of my mdichildren forms is slowest
and then again followed by showing.

Although application loads in under couple of seconds, is there any way to
speed up general loading of mdi children?

I often develop MDI applications, and I don't think I have ever needed to set
the "Parent" property of a child form. I just set the "MDIParent" property,
then show the form. Or is that what you meant?

Also, I never noticed that MDI Child forms would load slower that any other
forms.
How did you measure that just setting that property is so slow? It should
really be fast enough that you cannot even measure how long it takes.

3 out of my 15 or so forms set mdiparent slowly, but I think there is
something going on in background which is warping my stopwatch results.

I will try on different comp.
