| The Things that Make Up this Example | To Execute this Example |
This example demonstrates how to handle the extended start up of forms that have complex and/or extended initialization logic. A bitmap is shown during the initialization process and a progress bar and status messages are used to indicate the progress of the initialization process.
It also shows a technique for handling users who are unaware of the fact that minimizing a form onto the task bar (rather than actually closing it) is a better way to make a form "get out of the way" so that it can be more quickly "restarted" again later.
