Maximizing after a long time minimized

I've got a notebook with a lot of list ctrls in it, and when I leave
it idle a long time and come back to it the GUI looks really bad as I
assume its reloading memory off the disk and every page does this -
they don't reload themselves until shown.. Is there something you can
do to at least have it just remain blank while this is occurring?

To be clear, this is not normal waiting to draw behavior that other
apps have, part of it is the same behavior you have with sizers where
everything is scrunched up in the top left corner if you do work as
the panels are constructed.

Does it correct itself if you resize the window?

Its possible that the window is not being delivered a SizeEvent when
its being restored so the layout is not occurring. If this is the
case, as a test you could try to manually call Layout or SendSizeEvent
after maximizing the window to see if it fixes it.

I had a problem that was similar, and calling SendSizeEvent() fixed it
for me.
I hope you get it working.
