(I know that there is an answer at SO about this problem. I see it two days before, but now i can't find it)

So. I have app with single Form. App starts minimized in tray. When I restore the Form from tray it start drawing. And it's look terrible on slow PC. How I can preRender Form (when it not visible), to avoid drawing when he is already displayed?

I use Hide() when minimize to tray, and Show() to restore.

Depends. What are you drawing? – LarsTech Oct 15 '15 at 21:08
try calling the `Invalidate` or `Refresh` methods on the form. – Sam Axe Oct 15 '15 at 21:09
@LarsTech Form contains buttons(a lot of) and one-two textlayers. Just simple interface elements. – Stepan Loginov Oct 15 '15 at 21:12
