Hello everyone,
i have a problem with one of the forms of my application in which when the form initally loads, the interface hangs for a short time. i believe this is because of the 118 checkboxes i have on the form (it is a survey form, where people enter the results of a survey).
does anyone know of a way to speed this up? or hold off the form actually displaying until the checkboxes have been loaded? i thought of multithreading it, but i am unsure of how do this with the GUI, and not only that, but the form would still show up first, and populate the checkboxes on screen in realtime (which isnt what i want to happen) and i think that would look a bit dodgy, with a form showing up and then multiple checkboxes just start appearing on the screen.
if someone could give me a couple of pointers, or something to hold off the displaying of the form until all the controls are loaded, that would be great
cheers
