It is intended that the form is *not* shown as soon as it is instantiated. If you want to do that, just write Form1 = New form Form1.Show() Or alternatively, if you want to initialise children independent of whether the form is shown or not, you write the initialisation code into the constructor of your "form" class which is the special _new method[0].
