This may be a silly question but I am unable to do it.


I am opening two forms when opening an EXE.

I need to make one form always invisible.


I tried
C#
this.visble=false;
it didn't work.

I then tried
C#
this.Hide();


It hides my required from but when I open that EXE it blinks once then it hides.

I also tried
C#
this.Visible = false;
this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized;
this.ShowInTaskbar = false;

How to permanently hide without showing even a blinking in the screen

have you tried Opacity property ?

C++
void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
     this.Opacity = 0.0;
  }

C#
public Form1()
 {
    InitializeComponent();
    this.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None;
    this.ShowInTaskbar = false;
    this.Load += new EventHandler(Form1_Load);
 }

 void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
    this.Size = new Size(0, 0);
 }

Hah Hah... Tahanx ...
C#
public Form1()
{
	InitializeComponent();
	FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None;
	ShowInTaskbar = false;
	Opacity = 0;
	Size = new Size(0, 0);
}

// hiding from Alt+TAB dialog
protected override CreateParams CreateParams
{
	get
	{
		CreateParams cp = base.CreateParams;
		cp.ExStyle |= 0x80;
		return cp;
	}
}
