How to make splash screen form transparent

102 64KB
Hi,
I have a database open with a User Logon & Password. I also have my own Menu Bar.

After entering correct user & password, an intorductory form open as splash screen for 5 seconds. Every thing upto this is working OK.

Now what I want, that my splash screen form may Remain here as Background / De-activate / Disable or something like that. And I may continue with all of my Forms / Report by using my own Menu Bar.

Presently, when splash screen also remain but my other forms can not be displayed properly or fully on the screen due to splash form. Can this splash form be transparent.

Any one who could help me...

You can't make a form transparent but you can just use the same splash image as the background for your forms.

If it were transparent then, for that to be any help at all, it would also be in front of the other forms. This, in itself, would cause them to fail to work.

Have you given much thought to this idea? It doesn't appear so, unless you mean something quite different. If that's the case then please try to explain what you're actually asking about.
