Maybe the following might work for you: Change the MDI Child form to be just a normal form at design time, and set it's visible property to false so it will definitely be invisible after being created, until shown (or until it is turned into an MDI child form, which by definition is always visible.) Then, after creating the form, while it is still invisible and not parented as an MDI child, create the panels. Which should then avoid them being visible while created. And only then, change the form to be an MDI-child (at runtime) which will make it appear as it normally would. You might consider putting these operations into a method on your child form, or perhaps in the OnCreate event, or even in an overridden constructor, as appropriate. (Rather than doing this in the calling code that creates the form.) Walter ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Fair play? Video games influencing politics.
