Modeless window

Hi, All,

I am trying to create a splash window using a modeless window. The dialog template is built as usual and is displayed by calling Show() instead of ShowDialog() as for modal window. The problem is that I cannot see any controls in the modeless dialogbox. I am wondering what is wrong. Presumablly, I forgot to set some properties or initialize some components especially for modeless window?

Any clue will be appreciated.


Thanks in advance.

did you change anything in the constructor of the splash form?

make sure you have this line of code in all form constructors:

Code:

---

InitializeComponent();

---

Here is the constructor I have:

InitializeComponent();

this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
//this.Opacity = 1;
this.CenterToScreen();
this.Refresh();

It does initialize components.

If I change the method from Show() to ShowDialog(), all the controls apprear as normal.

Thanks.
