VS 2008 The Mechanics Of Finding A Splash Screen?

Nov 12, 2010

There was some confusion when my users were testing my code over what version they were running. We have a root directory that the exe is run from. Under that root I have folders like V3.1, and V3.2. All they have to do is look in the sub-folders and match the exe time stamp with what is in the root to know what they are running, yet this was confusing to them. The version is in the caption of the main form, too, but sometimes they didn't pay attention. So I needed a better way. I coded a splash screen which displays for 5 seconds and announces the version.

The problem is that while this works fine on my PC, I can't get it to work on the test machine that they run the exe from. It works for me from VS, and it works from my C: drive if I click the exe that is in my VS bindebug folder. What happens on the test machine is nothing. You don't see the splash screen but you don't get an errror either.

Cannot Update Splash Screen?

Feb 21, 2012

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

Get Splash Screen To Stay Up For More That A Second?

Jan 14, 2011

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.

VS 2010 Splash Screen Best Way

Jan 11, 2012

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.

.net - Execute Code Before Splash Screen?

May 4, 2012

I'm trying to accomplish something fairly simple in VB that I do everyday in JavaScript.I need to parse text between two strings (HTML tags mainly) that have multiple occurrences.

Sample Data:

<tag>test</tag>
<tag>test2</tag>
<tag>test3</tag>

If I wanted to grab the data in the 2nd <tag> in JavaScript I would simply do this:

var result = string.split('<tag>')[2].split('</tag>')[0];

And the only way I seem to get that to work in VB looks like this...

Dim from = string.IndexOf("<tag>")
Dim [to] = string.IndexOf("</tag>", from)
Dim result = string.Substring(from + "<tag>".Length, [to] - from - "<tag>".Length)
