Herfried,
thanks for the reply. do you have a solution to my problem? I need the
main form to hide itself without ever showing to the user. I am creating a
TaskBar application and don't want the user to even see the form.
The irritating part is that there are a number of demos for this on the web,
but they all show the main form at startup.
Thanks
Kirk
