I have tried to add a splash page to my app. I've tried the MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime" Property, but it doesn't seem to work. (Don't bother trying to explain that to me again. I've given up on that.) Therefore, I will just work the splash screen as a form (like everything else). start it when the application starts and close it (automatically) after 4 seconds?
View 4 RepliesI'm making a splash screen and i want it to go after 5 seconds? what is the script for waiting?
View 3 RepliesBasically, my app has the main form and a windows form "splash". Let me explain, this "Splash" is a WINDOWS FORM, not a splash form; its just named splash because I want to use it for that reason.In my project settings, my main form is my startup, and the splash form is my splash. This splash form has been coded on a timer for 10 seconds, but when I set the splash form as the splash setting, the form shows up for 1 second and goes to the main form.What I need is to edit the splash setting time from 1 second to x# seconds (preferebly 10)
View 2 Repliesi want to show a splash screen for 5 seconds before my login but the code i am using is giving problems.. i have tried to fix but is still not working.it is asking for comman somewhere... how can i fix it
Protected Overrides Function OnInitialize(ByVal commandLineArgs As System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)As Boolean)
Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
Return MyBase.OnInitialize(commandLineArgs)
End Function
I have created a splash screen and would like it to display for 5 seconds and then display the MainMenu form. The book I am following suggested using
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
but it just makes the splash screen APPEAR after 5 seconds of nothing.
How do I make it so that when the program starts it shows splash, then the splash screen closes after 5 seconds and opens Form1.vb?
View 6 RepliesI added an splash screen to my app. Then in the project settings I selected it to be used for the splash screen. Now my app won't close when I try to exit my app. I have 'When Last Form Closes' selected for the shutdown mode. So I'm guessing the splash screen is calling Hide() instead of Close(). I can't find a way to get access to the splash screen object so I can try callling Close().
View 6 RepliesEverytime I execute my program, the main form closes by itself after about 15 seconds. The code is not the problem because it does the same thing when I put the whole code in comments. It's also not a key problem because it closes by itself even when I don't touch a single key when it's running.

View 4 RepliesI achieve to record and stop recording (manually with a button).
Now i want somehow to automatically stop recording after some seconds.
I used the following methods which did not work:
1. Used a timer to call the stoprecording function (I found out that while recording the timer did not work) I tested it with an msgbox and i was right, the msg box appeared 5 secs after pressing the stoprecording button!!!!
2. Used the System.Timers.Timer but nothing
3. I tried the CAPTUREPARMS structure but i`m doing something wrong and it doesn`t record.
Here`s my initialization:
Dim MyParams As New CAPTUREPARMS
With MyParams

View 1 RepliesWhen my splash screen, I'm doing two tasks. First I'm checking for software updates and then installing them if they exist and second, I'm loading the main form with data.I don't want the splash page to close until these tasks have completed. I'm multi-threading it so I can update the UI accordingly, but that doesn't stop the splash screen from closing. The tasks in the background still complete of course, but that's not how I want to do it.
View 2 RepliesVB Windows form Application.. I am developing an application of which part of the program is around configuration settings allowing the user to enter configuration items. When the menubar item for configuration menu is clicked on the main form the menu opens.This is fine but the mainform should not become active again until the configuration menu has closed. This does not happen right now and the mainform simply comes to the foreground and the configuration form goes to the background... I realize that coding an event on the Child form to handle this would not work because the child window loses control and the main form gains control.. I thought of coding a function as follows on the main form but it does not seem logical because i would have to add to it for everyform and do checking to make sure the child is actually open before trying to close it..

Form1 is a mdi container. It has a bunch of forms that can load inside of it as mdi children. If I close each open form inside the form1, and then click the red X at the top right, application exits fine.If I click the red X without closing the forms inside I get: An unhandled exception of type 'System.CannotUnloadAppDomainException' occurred in mscorlib.dll
Additional information: Error while unloading appdomain. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131015) However I can break from it. How do I get the application to not show that error? What must I do to fix those inside forms or close when the red x is clicked?

The above code is what I used in VB6 to close all forms associated with my programs before my program closed. I have been searching for information on how to make sure all forms are closed when closing a VB2008 program.
I have seen info on using the Project Property Shutdown mode When startup form closes and I currently have this set.
Is this all that is really necessary? Will the garbage disposal close everything else to free up RAM?
Also, if I have several forms open and want to close all from the main form without closing each one individually, what is the best approach? Is there a collection like in VB6, go through the collection, compare it to the name of the main form and close it if it is not the main form?
