How do I make a splash screen with a progressbar that value changes base on the MainForm_load event? Example:When the mainform finished executing part of mainform_load, the progress bar in the splash screen changes to X value (eg 50)When mainform_load is executed completely, the progress bar moves to 100%, the splashscreen closes and mainform opens.

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 created a splash screen and would like it to display for 5 seconds and then display the MainMenu form. The book I am following suggested using
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
but it just makes the splash screen APPEAR after 5 seconds of nothing.

I develop a spalsh screen with progress bar. My application consist of 10 forms and access database. How i operate the progress bar untill resources are loaded. any example of code to run the progress bar actual not fake.
View 4 RepliesI'm looking for some advice on a very simple application which should consist of 2 parts:The application should display a splash screen for 5 seconds Before the splash screen displays, the program should execute code which sets some Environment Variables and then starts another EXE after which this application should terminate. As a complete novice to VB.Net I've been reading countless articles & examples on splash screens but they all seem geared towards a solution which will load a further form after the splash screen or contain snippets of code that I have no idea how or where to use. On my app however, I don't want any further form to be visible so can someone please advise the steps to follow that will achieve what I am looking for.
The following code Forum Account kindly converted that sets the environment variables and starts another EXE

View 7 RepliesIs there a way to load the data for my form during the splash screen and simply show the form when the user clicks on the button? I'm using a thread which fills my DataAdapter using Form.DataAdapter.Fill(Form.Dataset.Table), but when I open the form the data isn't shown (I removed the line from my form_load event to prevent a double load). Is there anyway to tell the form that the DataAdapter has been filled already and to look at the information there instead of loading the data everytime the form loads?
My problem is that the form takes a while to load due to the amount of data it is looking for. If I could already have the data ready and then display the form when the user clicks a button it'd be perfect. I apologize if I'm missing something, this is my first time diving into VB.Net with VS2010 after using Access VBA for awhile.
I would like to display my splash screen for a set amount of time (5 seconds). While the splash screen is displayed, I added code to the load function to determine which form to load next. I have the splash screen selected in the Application Properties settings. I also have to select a "Startup form:" in the Application Properties settings.
I'm having a couple of problems. First, the form selected in the "Startup form:" is loaded and displayed along with the splash screen.Next, the form I select in the splash screen load is not started. Only the "Startup form:" is loaded.
Let's say I want to put a 10 second delay on my splash screen before loading the next form or app.I use a timer, but would it be a simple integer value or several different lines of code?

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 making a fading splash screen for a software but I can't seem to make the splash screen fade in and then fade out. It only fades in, fades out a bit then stop.
