Re: Starting up the win form as non visible

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

If you don't want the form to be displayed until you need it, use a console application instead and close the handle to the console to hide it. Then, instantiate your form when you need to show it.

One question though: If you succeed in hiding the form, how do close your application?

So I have something like

Application.Run(new PopupForm());

public PopupForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

I want the PopupForm as non visible from anywhere (including the
actual form should be non visible, as well as in task bar, alt tab
bar). I tried to add this.Visible = false, or this.Hide() in the
constructor of PopupForm but none of them works.... the form still
shows up all the time. Is there anything I have done wrong?

I also tried to start it up as Minimized, but then it is still visible
in the alt tab bar.
