forms lagging

-----------------------------------

is it possible to fix the forms so they don't lag when u end the program. wat i mean is if u have like 10 forms and then u exit the program the program will not exit smoothly it will exit through each of the forms. also wats more efficient to use


unload me


OR


form1.hide

I'm not sure what do you mean by the "lag". I created a project with 15 forms and the program didn't lag at all. So, since I really wanted to see how it lags, I then created a project with 150 windows. Yes, it does lag a little bit, but, I think it always has to lag to a certain degree because, after all, you're making the computer do a lot of things. But there is another way to end your program, it seems smoother to me. The syntax is:
End
3 simple letters, end your whole project. Try that.

Remember, Form1.Hide does not unload it from memory.  It just hides the form so you can't see it on the screen.

If you forget to unload all forms, you could even have them remain in memory even though it looks like your program has finished.

what you're talking about is only when you're creating the project, it won't happen when you compile it. try this in your project close all your form and code windows, then run the program, and end it, it shouldn't cycle though all the forms now.

umm i don't think u understood my question. i obviously know the command end and i have that when the user clicks on exit the program. now wat i'm was asking is when u have all the forms opened and then u run the program and click on end u will see the program exiting each form until all the forms are ended and then will it only quit the program. i think pavol though is right and it has to do that, and if i close all the forms and run it then it won't lag.
