Maybe this is because every thumbnail creates a new form to draw on. This is not needed in this case, as there is only one thumbnail view visible at time. But I doubt that this is the reason, because we are creating Forms all over the place and the thumbnail view forms aren't special. > (a taskbarThumbnail is deleted before the next one is shown...) > > > > Best regards, > > Henrik > > > > > > > > > > >
