Hi,
I've got an application that starts whenever the machines starts but it
hangs on the splash screen until the underlying applications is ready to go
and then it starts to load.
Is there any way (in C# code) to stop this application from running until
Windows has finished loading?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Well, that is the intended use of a splash screen, to have an interface
while the app is loading.
Is there any way (in C# code) to stop this application from running until
Windows has finished loading?
Dont' quite understand yuo, do you want to change the app? or just
configure the OS to start this application later on the startup

I want to change the application to wait for all the processes to load and
then load itself.
Thanks.

Hi,
AFAIK you cannot know for sure when that moment is, when the system
"finish" to load , your best bet may be adding an entry to the startup
folder, this is the last place where windows looks for programs to run.
Maybe you get a better answer in some of the WinXP groups.
cheers,

Problem 1)
Any ideas on how I would get a splash screen to appear for a certain
amount of time when I open a database - it's to display a text based
disclaimer message.
I know about message boxes in VB but I don't my users having to click
on an OK buttone each time this appears.

Hi ,
I use formBorderStyle = "None" for the splash window.
If I will not open if as a Dialog (frmSplash.ShowDialog) then the form
will not be on the front of other windows.
>From another side when I use "ShowDialog" code stay "frozen" for the
time of Splash is opened.
Any idea how to move formBorderStyle = "None" form to the front.
I will use frmSplash.Hide at the end of MainForm_Load procedure

Hi!
My Windows Forms VB 2005 application has Splash Screen form specified in
My Project/Application/Splash Screen. How can I close Splash Screen form
programmatically when Startup form (specified in same place) causes
error when it is loading and it cannot open database connection for

Now error message will be below Splash Screen form, and it causes
problem how to read error message and close it.

The form opens on project startup but closes immediately before anyone would

This is not long enough but I can't see how to slow it down.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
