Invalidating Splash Screen - Picture Box Doesn't Refresh With Image
Jun 21, 2010
I have a splash screen and want to test the loading bar. The % of loading are in 11 stages (0-100% in 10% intervals) and I have 11 different images. What i'm trying to do is set my picturebox.image = to the resource image and then wait 1 second then set picturebox.image to the next resource image. What i was doing is on the SplashScreen.Show method [Code]. What happens is that the picture box doesn't refresh with the image until the last image has been loaded from the procedure and the end of making the thread sleep completes. (this worked fine in VS2005). How can I make it load up the image, redraw the picturebox and then make the thread sleep for 1 second in VS2008.
My Splash screen is acting funny. I may have inadvertently changes some detail somewhere, but I'm not sure where. I have a main form and a splash screen set in the "My Project" screen. When I test the program the splash screen shows up, as does the main form - simultaneously. The main form functions properly, but when I close it the splash screen doesn't close and the application runs forever.
I've tried removing and replacing splash screens to no effect. I've tried using the minimumsplashscreendisplaytime method, but nothing changes. Is there some page of information somewhere, independent of any individual splash screen, that manages all of this?
How do I add an animated picture to the Splash screen in vb.net 2008 my picture is .gif and when i setup the form's backgraound the picture dosent move.
I have an image on a transparent background. This is my "splash screen" for my project. I want it to basically show up in the middle of the screen for 5 seconds and then load my frmMain Form.
Here's the image: (removed)
I can't seem to get the gray form's background off it.
BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?
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:
I 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.
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?

I made a splash screen and want to have some text change on it as different parts of the program are loaded but the screen isnt updating when i use refresh or update.
I have already completed my projects by using visual basic 2008 express
but i want to know is it possible for me to add a video in splash screen..after the 10 seconds video finish, i want the want the main form to be appear.
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
I am trying to disable a splash screen and go directly into an existing prog. Here is the code for the splashscreen. I have changed the startup project to the reports.vb where reports.vb holds the Class reports but i have an error, object reference not set to an instance of an object. I am able to click around in the prog and have the same functionality but the cursor is a wait cursor .[code]...
I'm trying to get my splash screen to stay up for more that a second.I have used the code suggested by the book I have, the problem is that the book isn't specific about where the code goes.
I'm using the SplashScreen template. I've added the code in various places. Either the code will delay the splash screen from showing, then it flashes up for half a second, or the code will do nothing.
how I can have progressbar in a splash screen I made I have a splashscreen called SPLASH_SCREEN and I have choosed it in the compiler so it works fine,but I wonder how I will fix the code for the loading to next form the next form is called Form1
My code is like this
Private Sub SPLASH_SCREEN_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load ProgressBar1.Maximum =? ProgressBar1.Value = ? End Sub

Will adding a Splash Screen improve my Application's Loading Time? If yes, how do I make a Splash Screen with a Progress Bar that shows how much of the App is loaded?
I need that my application have a splash screen, this splash must update a label with messages that i sent from the main form constructor, in the end of the constructor i need to close the splash, the splash must accept key presses, so if the user press some keys I'll show the login screen, by default the login it's the same of the machine, and this is useful for debugging/tests purposes.Basically i need to send text to another thread, and get a boolean value from the same thread to know if the user pressed the correct combination of keys to show the login form.
