The first column in my Data Grid is actually not my first column. It has an arrow pointed to the first row and then the last row has an asterisk by it. Is there anyway to make this column not show every time my form loads?

I have created a project that shows a splash screen first and then shows the main form once the main form has been fully loaded. I only want to show my splash screen once the main form has completely loaded in the background. My main form by itself takes like 3 seconds to load, so I would like to display the splash screen for about 3 seconds and then show the main form because the main form will then be fully loaded, but instead it shows the splash screen for 3 seconds and then the main form still has to load anyway.How can I load the main form in the background and then show it when it is fully loaded?
I have an app that connects to a remote database.The connection to the database is triggered by the form load event of the main start up form which prompts the user for user name and a password.Here is my problem:Sometimes it takes a number of seconds for the database connection to be established after the user has double clicked the desktop icon. this means that during this period it appears that no action is taking place until the startup form becomes visible.Some impatient users assume that nothing is happening and double click the icon again.What I want to do is to have a graphic image or something pop up on the screen immediately when the program starts that displays something like 'Connecting To Database, please be patient"

I have a datagrid that loads at form time with the current database Information, when the user types in there username and password it updates into the database like a registering program, but the problem is i can only see the updated database when i restart the program. here is my code for INSERT [code] You'll notice im using Command Method instead off a Adapter, as i only had problem after problem with the adapter the command method seemed to be the better option as it worked straight away. When ive researched ive got information like used "SetDataBindings" also just so you know i don't have the option for some reason, also Refresh() Doesnt work either.
I am making a program that will fill in some info on a form. The information that needs to be filled is:
[Code]...
The thing is i need the program to click on a button on a website then open a new tab with the page it just clicked on, fill in email and click submit, then fill in the info that is above before pausing. I would also like the info above to be randomized each time the new page loads so it is not the same. I have already looked on this site and cant find what I am looking for.
I have looked through the properties control but could not seem to find the option which let me to display the item in a combobox when form loads. I don't want to leave it empty when form loads.
I have a table in my database with 5 columns (ID1 to ID5) and just one row. I'm trying to bind a comboBox, to show ID1 through ID5 in the combobox when my form loads. I have a dataset and tableAdapter's made for this already. I just want to know how to bind a combobox to those ID values.
I have a form that it do some calculations on datas,I create another form (for example progressform) that has a progressbar and a label with text:"Please Wait. I use progressform.SHOW() in first line of my analysis form load event, but when I run the project the progress form loads incompletely and you can not see the label and progressbar in the form! if I add a messagebox.SHOW("anything") after the line progressform.SHOW() the problem will solve and the label and progressbar apear in the form. it seems that before the progressform loads completely the computer starts the analysis...

<Browsable(True)> _ Public Property DataEntryRole() As UserRole.PossibleRoles Get Return mDataEntryRole End Get
[Code]...
When I view the designer for my form, DataEntryRole doesn't appear in the property box. I assume that it should appear if I were to create another form that inherited from this base form, but that's not what I want. I want this property to show up in my current form.
My main form has a timer that monitors idle time in my app: no mouse movements and no clicks.If the idle time reached 3 seconds, in *this example below*, then I want to show frmRestart, which will call the UnloadAllFormsExcept(Me) function from frmMain.When three idle seconds are reached, frmRepeat starts to show on the screen but never does!! I just see the border of the form and nothing else. My mouse goes into "thinking" mode forever.[code]
I have a stopwatch that counts down to zero from a random time set when the app loads. Now what I want to do is when that timer runs out and someone clicks reset it again is random rather than the same time as before. My code is
Is there a command in vb that can be used to pause a routine to give time for the form to show before the routine starts as my routine is running and completing before my form shows up?
