OK, here's an annoying one:
I'm loading a splash form from a main sub, then loading up the main form on a separate thread. As the main form loads, it updates a global string to its current status. The main sub in the meantime constantly is checking that string for the status and telling the splash screen what the status is. Now my problem: for some reason, my background image on the splash form refuses to show. If I set the image in the form_load procedure, it shows up, but I get a nice big flicker. I want it all to load in the background, which is why I just want to set the background image property of the form. But like I said, it refuses to load. I re-created the EXACT same form in a separate project: it works fine. Its about to drive me up the wall. Any ideas?
