This is the code i have written
Private Sub Application_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.StartupEventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
Dim splash As New System.Windows.SplashScreen("LoadingScreen.png")
splash.Show(False)[code]....
I'm getting an error as "Startup cannot be found"
RUNNING VERSION 2008 Basic I've decieded to put a Splash Screen on my software. My main question is how do you make it so the Splash Screen shows for about five seconds and then startup Form1.
Also, on the splash screen it auto-fills the info. Does anybody know how to get rid of that and make it custom?
I have my start up form in maximized window state, but this cause the splash screen appear behind the startup form, which cause it cannot be seen.Even i have set the time longer to display the splash screen.It still do now work. I have tried below code in the start up form but it is not working...
Private Sub Main_Shown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
End Sub
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 have an annoying issue whereby a MessageBox is being displayed behind my splash screen. As the MessageBox is waiting for acknowledgement (that there is a validation issue, and thus leading to termination), the program gives the appearance of having hung on the splash screen.[code]...
View 11 RepliesI added a splash screen to my program, using the default one and just changing some of the information on it like copyright etc and rezized the form a bit. I set it to to start centre screen. I am not sure if I did any other changes.When it ran it came up with this error for the line I have added. I got it to copy the detail to clip boardif I specify the splash screen as none again, my program runs so something must be wrong with it
Here is the line that errors and the message.
Version.Text = System.String.Format(Version.Text, My.Application.Info.Version.Major, My.Application.Info.Version.Minor)

I have a Splash screen setup and working fine. I have error checking to detect if a specific USB device is connected with a message box having the user to check the device if not detected. This all works fine.In testing, my splash screen doesn't allow the focus to change to my message box error when said device is not connected. So it just looks like the splash screen is stuck. I'd like the focus to change to my message box error IF it comes up.

View 5 RepliesI am developing an windows application in VB 2008, My requirment is such that I have to change the applications Splash and Startup object on the basis of "Custom Constants" (Compilation Constants).As far as I have .Net idea it should be done in Application.Startup Event (guide me if i am wrong)Now, in Application.Startup_Event when I write the code
Private Sub MyApplication_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.StartupEventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
My.Application.SplashScreen = SplashScreen2

The application dont work as desired, instead it starts with Form2 (which is OK), while in case of Splash it doesnt changes the splash form.

View 3 RepliesMy 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
