• Warren13 Making forms appear sooner

  I'm developing an application in VB .net and have several forms that call one another. It basically works but it takes too long for the called form to appear sometimes. The desktop appears for a few seconds giving the momentary impression that the program has stopped. I have some lengthy initialization processing that has to occur in the load event of each form now. Is there another event where I can put the initialization processing so the form will appear before the initialization processing starts it depends on the nature of what you're doing in init. can you move the routines to Activated, Load, OnActivated, or something similar Use the IDE's Intellisense to explore the various events available to yo ...Show All

• Jan L. short alignment issue

  I'm seeing something very weird when compiling this code for an ARMV4i Smartphone target and running it on a smartphone emulator: INT foo(UINT16 *srcPtr) { short data; data = *(srcPtr+1); switch (*srcPtr) {... } If the memory pointed to by srcPtr contains: 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 data is set to 0x88776655 (endianism isn't the issue, but 32 instead of 16 bits is - it should be 0x4433) *srcPtr is evaluated as 0x44332211, again 32 instead of 16 bits, it should be 0x2211. Any ideas Cheers, Ken It wouldn't surprise me if intellisense gave you a different definition than the one really being used by the compiler.
