I am changing the Visibility of a Form to false during the load event AND the form still shows itself. What is the right event to tie this.Visible = false; to? I\'d like to

Answer 1

It took me some time to find a properly working Solution.

Set the properties named WindowState to Minimized and ShowInTaskbar to False under properties window. Once your form is completly loaded, Call below lines of code.

        this.ShowInTaskbar = true;
        this.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Maximized;
        //this.WindowState = System.Windows.Forms.FormWindowState.Normal;
