Has anybody go a way to start a Sub without coming back to Sub Form_Open(). I can do it with a Timer, as below, but it seems to me there should be an easier way.
Public Sub Form_Open()
Timer1.Trigger
End
Public Sub Second()
Print "Hello world!"
End
Public Sub Timer1_Timer()
Second
End

Can you elaborate on what it is you want to accomplish? Why is it that Form_Open() is not sufficient? You could call it from a different class or module if you make it public.
You can also call it at the
constructor, a.k.a. _new() (probably
_init() and _ready() as well).

OK here is what I am working on. If you Rem out line 30 and run the program you will see the issue.

Have you uploaded the same version? The code you gave me calls BuildForm, which in turn calls AddTimer which again calles hTimer.Start...
Anyway... I still do not know why you want to avoid this? Can you tell me like I am five years old, haha

I did not fully understand your code, but I tried to make a variant to what it seems you try to achieve:

I had a look at your code which works as I would expect. I just can't work out why mine needs a 'Trigger' to display.

I added this code into the top of your RebuildForm sub:
Debug "Rebuilding form", hPlayAreaPanel.W, hPlayAreaPanel.H
and it says you panel is 8x8. That's probably the problem. Now to find out why it does not fit the FMain's proportions
