FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.FixedDialog
To my main form load function. However, when I add this code, the form loads over my splashscreen. I am trying to have my splash screen displayed for a set amount of time

Show A SplashScreen While The Main Form Loads In The Background?

Aug 14, 2011

I have created a project that shows a splash screen first and then shows the main form once the main form has been fully loaded. I only want to show my splash screen once the main form has completely loaded in the background. My main form by itself takes like 3 seconds to load, so I would like to display the splash screen for about 3 seconds and then show the main form because the main form will then be fully loaded, but instead it shows the splash screen for 3 seconds and then the main form still has to load anyway.How can I load the main form in the background and then show it when it is fully loaded?

C# - What Causes The SplashScreen To Close

Jan 30, 2012

Simple question but I can't seem to find the answer - can someone tell me which event causes the splash screen to be closed.

I thought it would be either the startupform.Activated or some application level event but I can't find it.

The reason for the question is that I want to control when the splash screen is closed myself - can I do this?

Splashscreen Not Collected?

Mar 1, 2011

I 'm working on a quite large VB application, and recently I started profiling the memory usage, because there were some issues with objects not being collected.I noticed that the SplashScreen (boilerplate SplashScreen hooked up via Project Properties) never gets collected, because is remains referenced by My.MyProject.MyForms.m_SplashScreen. This is apparantly a private member, and I can't figure out how and where to set it to nothing with reflection code.I looked into my code to make sure i'm not doing anything special; I don't even reference the form anywhere.

.net Splashscreen System.InvalidOperationException

Oct 18, 2011

this is the error I started getting only when I added a splashscreen to my application. Please note that I haven't added any code there - on the contrary - I removed everything from the Splash class. The issue seems not to occur when debugging - I got it from my Virtual machine - what makes the problem a bit more complicated as I have no idea which line may cause it. The problem shows up between splash_screen_dispose and main_show (when I click continue all is ok).

The details of my err. message:See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** Exception Text **************
System.InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.

VB: Update Progressbar On Splashscreen

Apr 1, 2011

Main form loads and displays a table of records. Form1_load goes through each record and looks up external data for updates and this takes noticeable time. I have a splash screen that comes up while the main form is loading and I want the splash screen to display the status in a progress bar named ProgBar. I recall the method used a 'delegate' and my SplashScreen1 uses this code:

Delegate
Sub UpdateBar(ByVal
X As
Long)

[Code]....

The main form already loops through each record and all I want it to do is update the progress bar if the splash screen is open.

Prevent Painting Of .NET Form While Form Is Loading?

Jun 14, 2010

Is there a way to turn off all visual updates to a .NET form while I am manipulating it? When my program first loads, for example, I set the tab control to the tab that was last open. The user can see the program switching tabs.

I have looked into SuspendLayout and ResumeLayout, but either I don't understand what they are doing, or I am not using them correctly, because they don't seem to have any effect. Someone told me that there used to be a way to turn off paint events in VB 6. Does this still exist in .NET?

Set Splashscreen Background Image In Program At Run Time?

Mar 8, 2011

I have a splash screen for my program that I want to have a background image that changes each time the program opens.One way I saw to do this is to load it from a ImageList, but that has an maximum image size of 256x256.The splash screen is 498 x 305, which means that I need to find something besides ImageList but hopefully with a similar ability to organize the images.I did try just putting them into resources, but wasn't able to get it to set the background without erroring, and I'd prefer not to have 30 images cluttering the place up.

SplashScreen Staying Open Even After Application Exits?

Apr 30, 2012

Windows Forms VB Application.. I added a splashScreen to my application. And it was flashing only for a second then going away so I added a sleep timer to my Form Load event... The problem is now the splashScreen stays open even After Application exits, instead of simply closing at the end of the sleeptimer.. The Part of the Form Load event that is causing this is as follows:

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)

.net - WPF Loading So That Can Move The Form?

Apr 26, 2012

How do i load the Main form of a WPF so that a seperate thread goes and gets data from the database while the form is in an apartmentstate ? (drag-able / movable) I Know this is possible with opening a new window from your main form like this :

Private Sub openOrderWindow()
Dim OrderWindow As Orders = New Orders
OrderWindow.ShowDialog()
End Sub

[code]....

I've tried putting MyBase.ShowDialog() and .Show() and .9000+ other things The only benefit I've got out of using a seperate thread to load from the databse is i can see the screen right away (as oppose to it being a transparent box until it loads) but i cannot move it around or minimize itis there any way to make it Movable while it loads?

Anyway To Speed Up Form Loading?

Dec 3, 2002

Does anyone know of anyway that it would be possible to speed up the process of loading forms.With VB6, forms (simple ones) was extremely fast but with VB.net, the initial loading of a form (even the simplest one) takes very long. Although it gets better once it's loaded once and the reloaded the next time (almost instanttaneous), but the first time loading gives a bad impression to any user that .net is actually much slower.

Closing Form And Loading Another

Mar 6, 2009

I've got 2 forms; form1 and form2.
Button1 is added to form1.
When I click button1, I want to close form1 and open form2.

I tried the following.
me.close
form2.show
Its not working. Form1 gets closed but form2 is not showing up.

When I use the following code
me.hide
form2.show, its working.
But hide will not unload form1 and it will still occupy memory.
