Form Hide Show - Keeps Application On Right Of Taskbar !

Hi,

It started as small application. However became a big one. Now I have
number of forms, and on clicking buttons I hide the current form using
Me.hide and show the next form as nextform.show. However this keeps the
application always on right side of taskbar. And takes a small moment
to switch to the next form, and that blink in the form switching, makes
it look not good. Any ideas on that.

Waiting.

Is the project suitable for hosting inside an MDI form?

Thanks for the reply.

That is one thing I was not sure about to begin with. On all the
different forms, have different controls, data entry textboxes,
checkboxes, radio buttons, etc. On some controls we have data grids as
well.

So I am not very sure how I can implete the entire thing within a mdi
form. I will be searching for the mdi form examples to see if there is
something that suits me.

Also is it possible to create a kind of template for the forms, for
example, a template with image buttons will be different for admin, for
user, for different roles, different links, just like html.

You can create seperate forms for each user type or just
adjust (with code) how you want the form to appear.
