Hello,
My application has a series of forms that open using ShowDialog() on
top of their parent as the user drills down to enter increasingly more
detail regarding data. I want to hide the previous form so that the
user can minimize or move the current form without others behind it.
Currently I am using this code;
\\
Private Sub btnJobForm(ByVal......
Dim f As New f010Jobs
Me.Visible = False
f.ShowDialog()
Me.Visible = True
End Sub
//
However there is a cosmetic drawback to this. The first form disappears
before the new form fully paints. The affect is unprofessional.
On return everything looks fine.
I don't know how to make the form disappear later unless the new form
tells its parent to disappear, but I don't know how to do that either.
What are my options? What is the best way to resolve this problem?
Thank you,
dbuchanan
