Cache a form?

[Gareth Murfin]

The set up time for some of my screens takes almost 1 second, so app seems unresponsive, I was wondering, is there any way to cache a form? So it doesnt have to "build" every time, and do all my logic? Can we store a finished form and use that to speed up the app? 

I guess in a way this is kind of like onResume in Android, only onCreate does the hard work, and only gets called first time its made.

start() literally caches the last Form. You don't need to throw away the Form objects.

Thanks, I tried to cache some forms but it didnt seem to keep the complete form. 

For example once I have set up the UI and then populated it, I call this in postShow():

cachedForm=getCurrentForm(); 

then if I come back to the form I do 

if (cachedForm!=null)

        {  

            cachedForm.show();

            return;

        }

this works but it does not show the changes I made to the form, for example most of my forms are full of empty containers, at run time I use createContainer to swap in various things I have designed in the gui editor, but none of them appear on the cached form.

Did I do it wrong somehow ?

Are you using the old GUI builder?

It's a bit problematic to cache forms in the old GUI builder.
