ANyone notice that transparent labels in VB.net (a bunch of them) take a bit to load especially on the VIA Epia boards??
Progress [I will seriously never be done!]
Via EPIA MII

OEM GPS (embedded)
nLite WinXP pro on
1GB Extreme III CF card
Carnetix 1260 startup/ DC-DC regulator
Software: Still, re-Writing my existing front end in .Net
Well I think that depends on your memory size and CPU speed.
.NET uses GDI+ (wich is very slow) for drawing controls and a transparent control takes more resources to draw (you don't notice this with one or two labesl, but when the size increses this becomes noticable).
I have a pretty decent development machine and your right after a a few trans. labels on a machine there's a bit of a lag when the app loads.

Perhaps you can use a lighter-weight toolkit?
when i coded in vb 6 there was a way to pre load the form.. saves loading issues but takes that little bit longer..
Transparent labels take more ressources to draw, even in delphi 7.
Now Galileo is real. Muhahahahaha :p
