Hi Coders, Thanks in advance

My application has quite a few windows that are used which is all fine. I was just wondering which is the best way to 'use' them.

Is it better to create all the windows in one go (as invisible) and then just show them as required, or when needed, create them then and then get rid of them again when not needed?

Just thinking about memory really, if it could cause a problem. Oh by the way I will have about 15 windows in my application!


Thanks

Normally you create the window when you need it.
Usually there is no reason to keep 1 window visible and 14 hidden just because you could use them later
A window even if hidden has a cost in term or resources (memory, cpu, gdi objects, and so on).
So unless you have a valid reason I would suggest to create/destroy them as needed.
