Delphi Prism: How to load Winform without showing it?

Question

I have a winform that needs to be loaded to update its controls' values or properties, before it is to be shown.

I found a stackoverflow question asking the same thing, but it's answer doesn't really help me. Load a form without showing it

Any sample code will be appreciated. Thank you,

Answer 1

Create the form like this:

form := new MyForm();

Assuming you have implemented a method on MyForm to update the values, call it:

form.Update();//may need to pass parameters here

Show the form in the usual way:

form.ShowDialog();
