Question

I have a program which only needs a NotifyIcon to work as intended. So I’ve been trying to get the main form to hide when the program starts.

In frmMain_Load, I tried both

this.Hide(); this.Visible = false; 

without success.

They work in other methods, like in the NotifyIcon_MouseClick-method, but I want it to hide at Load.

I saw in another question here at SO where Matias suggested this:

BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker(delegate {     Hide(); })); 

This works, but when I launch the program I can see the form flashing real fast. It’s better than nothing, but I wonder if there is any better solution to this.

Thanks.

// In Your Program.cs Convert This static void Main() {     Application.EnableVisualStyles();     Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);     Application.Run(new Form1()); }  // To This static void Main() {     Application.EnableVisualStyles();     Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);     Form1 TheForm = new Form1();     Application.Run(); }  // Call Application.Exit() From Anywhere To Stop Application.Run() Message Pump and Exit Application
