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.

If
My.Settings.NoSplash Then
Me.Hide()

None of these makes any difference. If issue a Close() on form1, the entire program closes and not just form1. Is there a property I need to tweak or set on either of the forms to stop/fix this?
What I am trying to do is show a splash screen then the next form. I have given them the option to "skip" the splash screen if they don't want to see it any longer and this is where I am having the problem.
i want to show a splash screen with delay. I have added a new splash screen and in the project properties the splash screen is the start form.
But i couldnt code a delay.

View 2 RepliesI 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?
My application opens pretty quick but just for looks I put the splash screen and loading has slowed down. can i decrease the normal time for which the splash screen is shown?
View 5 RepliesI 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 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.
I'm trying to use a splash screen to check the logged on users rights and if all meets criteria it loads the default form. Currently in my load event of the spash form i had some code along the lines

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.

View 1 RepliesI 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 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?
I'm coding a splash screen in VB.Net that displays for 3 seconds then shows a login screen. But the splash shows up even when login shows and I have told the splash to hide. Here is my code:

My Front end is VB.net 2008.I have a form. In this form, I have a menu control, this menu control has four buttons.On clicking the first three buttons, open the window with Show() event. and the fourth button open the screen with ShowDialog().Now, One by one I am clicking the button , so finally i have now four windows of this application.(Three with Show() and one with ShowDialog())Right?
Now I am minimizing all the windows with the help of Window + D Button.After this, If I use the keyboard(Alt+ Tab) keys. This is opening the showDialog window on top because , Show dialog's TopMost = True.Now I come back to my problem. That's why I cannot use the show/Showdialog overloaded menthod to pass the Me/form-id .Again, I use the keyboard(Alt+ Tab) keys, to minimized all windows. In the taskbar and Startmenu properties ,I have selected the Group Similar Taskbar buttons.This resulted in the heap of my application windows, one on the other.Now i click on one of my application window , and If I click the window other then the Show Dialog opened Window, this is not bringing the show dialog window to topMost.
Note:- There is no parent child window requirement. That's why I can't use the Show/Show Dialog overloaded method to pass the Me/Form-id
I am using Process.Start in my application, which is working great.My only problem is, the program it "starts", is an installer, which takes about 5 minutes to install. I woud really like to hide all my forms and only show one that says "please wait", but i cant seem to get it to stay there till the process has finished.
View 2 RepliesI am in a dual monitor environment. I have developed an application using VB.NET 2005.When I start my application, the splash screen always displays on the monitor where the mouse cursor is at, even if it is not the same monitor that the login and primary form open on.

View 11 RepliesIn form I have one button which has functionality to pick up some data from (by mouse click) Parent application.
I have handle for parent application handle, but even if i tried to bring it on top i am not able to do selection because form is modal.
Requirement here is open modeless dialog and wait till it close. other wise it goes further and executes functionality below.
Another option can be open form as modal and at runtime change it to modaless.
I want to know how to add a splash screen, but i can't do it through the properties because i use another file as startup so that i can close the main form and leave other open for it to minimize to taskbar, so how would acomplish this?
