Hi Luiz,



Thanks for the code, in fact I was not using those and after adding it to my base form class it does speed up things a bit.



Still it does not make sense in .Net to have all these nice themed controls and not been able to get it to display normally without a lot of tweaks. I hope .Net 4 and VS2010 improve this process.



I attached a screen shot of one of my forms which have the following controls:

A PanelManager with 2 pages

A ThemedSplitContainer to host the Card List

Another ThemedSplitContainer to handle the Top and Bottom section.

A TableLayoutPanel at the bottom right

2 ThemedStatusStrip and 2 ListViews

Several labels and textboxes and in the Page2 of PanelManager (not shown) several ThemedGropuBoxes

Loading the data is very fast, it is just when opening the form the first time that it takes a noticeable time to show the first page.



About your Close button disappearance, since I am not using DevExpress I have not idea what my be happening. All my forms are based on the SF StandardForm using the logic in StrataFlix.

Ed,

You are right! The time reduced was so small....
I´d like to improve more performance... what do you think? Do you have an ideia?

Tks

Sorry, but I am pretty new to .NET and I have already done everything Trent has suggested here. Like I said, I hope that .Net 4 will have some improvement on this regard.
