Forms :: Disabling A Splash Screen When Application.Restart Is Called?
Dec 28, 2011
I have an application with a splash screen which gets shown before the application starts. One of the requirements of the application is to allow users to restart (or atleast clear the form) so that other test cases can be ran. Because there are so many forms and variables, we elected to simply call Application.Restart() to accomplish this.
What we would like to do now is disable the Splash Screen when Application.Restart() is called. That is, only show the Splash Screen when the application is initially started, not when it is restarted.

To create splash screen before InitializeComponent, the WithEvents statement for the BackgroundWorker component needs to be moved from the Form's Designer.vb file into the constructor as indicated in the first commented lines of the constructor below.

I am using the following code in the 'Application.Designer.vb' to set one of the two forms as the the mainform for my splash screen.The global string array gSetupStr(0,1) only produces a correct result when any Msgbox is inserted before the 'If' statement.However,I do not want the Msgbox during a splash screen, but do want to control the mainform.

I put my standard About Box and Splash Screen into a code library along with a number of other stadard things I use. The about box works fine in that I can instantiate a local version and then show.
My question is how can I select the splash screen out of the dll? The drop down box on the Properties page only shows forms in this project.
In C# I can instantiate the splash screen manually before the intialization process and then hide afterword. Is there a similar way in VB?

I designed a application on vb.net 2005. Some of the forms in this application has databindings controls. Now when such forms loads it takes some time. I want a splash screen containg "Please wait" message to appear till the form loads and the wait splash screen would be shown for every several forms in the application not only before the start up form.

I have an application with a main form, on loading the main form asks the user to select a file to work with. I have now been asked to add a splashscreen to the project so did the following:
* Right clicked in solution explorer and added the splashscreen
* Went into project properties and added the splashscreen to the dropdown for splashscreen and then clicked "View Application Events"
Within here I have added the following
Protected Overrides Function oninitialize(ByVal commandlineargs As System.Collections.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)) As Boolean
Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
Return MyBase.OnInitiallize(commandlineargs)
End Function
Now when I run the application the splash screen shows but within, a second the openfiledialog has appeared and hides the splash screen.

I have a splash screen, the default from Visual studio. It loads up, is shown for a few seconds, then, when it disappears, the main form is loaded. Now here is the problem: the main form appears in the back, behind the windows explorer window I load the application from.
The weird thing is that this only happens on some computers, particularly Windows XP machines.I tried a lot of things like BringToFront() or TopMost = true in the on Load event of the form but nothing seems to change this.

I was trying to figure out the cause for this . What i understand is :
1. .net starts splash screen in different thread.
2. Someway when main form load event is finished or about to finish , then splash screen is disposed.
Now in this case , i think dispose method of the splash screen gets fired from the main form , even when splash screen initialization is not finished yet.

I know one can select Spash Screen as the application startup as per this illustration. I can't do that however because the application is called by another program which passes in parameters via Process.Start(). Depending on the passed in arguments, I need to either
Go Directly to the MainForm or Go First to a Splash Screen which will then to the the Mainform after 5 seconds.
I definitely need Step 2 above because of the slow startup time of creating an SocketConnection and the population of some Custom Controls only after the Socket connection has been established.
Would I use a startup class or module and then use that as the application startup 'form' which could be establishing the SocketConnection while also launching a Splash Screen?

I have an MDI parent screen that loads on startup and a lot of child forms that load when opening. So as the child forms load there's a lot of flashing and it looks really ugly. Once they're loaded all I have to do is use a bring to front, maximized command and it works smoother than closing a form and opening a new one every time a different form is selected. I've tried creating a splash screen, minimizing the forms on load, etc and everything still works in order so first the splash screen then the forms load.
How would you set it up so a splash screen stays on top of all other forms for like 5 seconds while the forms load in the background without seeing them load? Right now the screen shows then when it's done it moves on to step 2 which is loading the child forms. If no splash screen, how do I make it load so you don't see all the child forms opening at once?

1. Just looking for some general help on how to auto update my application via a file location path (e.g. I have a HTML file containing the current file version and the .exe file to download)
What I need is to read in the HTML file version - DONE Check file version vs HTML file stream input - DONE Replace current .exe file with new .exe file - HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS
I know I have to close the application and then replace the old exe file with the new exe file then restart the application but looking for the best/safest way this can be done
2. Basically what I want is during my Splash screen which runs for 5 seconds I want to check if a network drive is mapped.
if not, pause splash screen ask user for address of drive, map drive then un-pause splash screen and continue with load how do I check if a network drive is mapped? and how do I pause the splash screen?

My objective is to have a splash screen that displays a status and steps a progress bar. I have created a custom splash screen form with all the controls that I require. Note: This form has not been designated
as the splash screen in the application settings. I tried that earlier and it got me nowhere. On the main form's load event I show the splash screen. All that seems to work. What doesn't work is getting an update to the splash screen. Actually the function gets called and the label control text gets changed
(I think) but the splash screen never shows the update. I have tried to refresh the control and the form itself but that doesn't work. After spending all morning on the search engines I tried using a delegate but that doesn't seem to
