Since the ShowDialog() doesn't allow the frmGreyOut finish loading.
The cool greyed out effect is never seen. Just the popup called
frmYesNo

Private Sub frmGreyOut_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
My.Forms.frmYesNo.Message = pstrMessage
My.Forms.frmYesNo.ShowDialog()
Me.DialogResult = My.Forms.frmYesNo.DialogResult
End Sub

In VB6 we had to use a timer to get around this crap.... someone
PLEASE tell me the MS has given us a better way besides using a timer?
 
Im not sure i am understanding your issue correctly, but maybe using the
Form_Shown event might help?

If not then, explain in a little more detail what you are trying to do...

Why do you want to hide frmGreyout behind frmYesNo immediatelly after
showing it?

Is frmGreyOut shown modally? If it is not, I would change the calling code:

1. Show frmGreyout
2. Show frmYesNo modally

I have run into the same thin in vb.net and i do the same thing..

I load thestuff after a timer 1 second event.

I think its silly and i cant figure out how others have done this - or why
they dont run into the same issues.
