Loading multiple child forms from a loop into a MDI parent form. They are displayed one at a time. I would like to display all the created forms at once. I tried only using the .Show() method after they are all created, but they still only display one at a time.

A: 

Perhaps layouting your children forms using the MdiLayout Enumeration.

Thanks, will try it and let you know

It still seems to draw the child forms one at a time as there is processing that takes place in each one

You for sure need to show your forms. Perhaps showing them in a loop after they all have been instantiated. It is hard to say without knowing exactly the ultimate objective and what you need to achieve that requires such behaviour. =)

I have a MDI parent form that loads child forms containing gauges that load. Each gauge requires a connection to a seperate database with some data processing to populate the gauge data.I have tried to create them first. Then Show() them afterwards, but they still load one at time.
