Another approach is to save the form as a class, and instansiate it with createobject(). Doing it this way, the visible property is set to false and the form is not displayed until you set it to true.

>I have textboxes, editboxes which have a shade of green as it's backgound color. When the form starts the controls does show up white for once and then it functions properly. How can I avoid this. I am using CodeBook as the framework, so I have modified the i-Layer but not the c-Layer.
