I am having a bit of a problem getting my application to work
properly.
RIght here is my problem...
WHen my C# windows app loads up the start form, i create a new thread
and show the splash on the new thread and put the main thread to sleep
until the splash screen has done the business, then i kill the new
thread and start another to show the login and again put the main one
to sleep. Problem i have is that my splash screen will show ie has
focus but when my login box appears it is minimised to the taskbar??
and doesnt show up on the screeen like i want it to.
Here is my Code:
//Load the Splash Screen
private void DoSplash()
{
Splash sp = new Splash();
DialogResult Res;
Res = sp.ShowDialog() ;
if (Res == DialogResult.Ab ort)
{
KillApp = true;
}
WakeThread = true;
}
//Here is my Login Form
private void ShowLogin()
{
Login lg = new Login();
DialogResult Res;
Res = lg.ShowDialog() ;
if (Res != DialogResult.OK )
{
KillApp = true;
}
WakeThread = true;
}
and finally my initial form constructor
//Show Splash Screen
Thread th = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DoS plash));
th.Start();
while (WakeThread == false)
{ Thread.Sleep(10 00); }
th.Abort();
if (KillApp)
{ KillApplication (); }
//end of splash screen
//Show Login Box
WakeThread = false;
Thread thLogin = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Sho wLogin));
thLogin.Start() ;
while (WakeThread == false)
{ Thread.Sleep(10 00); }
thLogin.Abort() ;
if (KillApp)
{ KillApplication (); }
//end of Login
//GOOD TO GO.....
InitializeCompo nent();
Can anyone offer a suggestion to what i am doing wrong or if someone
has a better way of doing what im trying to then please let me know :)
Thanks 4 5221
Gaz,
WHen my C# windows app loads up the start form, i create a new thread
and show the splash on the new thread and put the main thread to sleep
until the splash screen has done the business
What is the senze of your solution, this you can do with a simple.
\\\
Form splasy = new Form();
//Set what you want on splasy
splasy.ShowDial og();
splazy.Dispose( );
///
The effect is the same.
The meaning of multithreading with a splash screen is to do initialization
operations while the splash screen is showed, not to stop it.

Check the archives for "Ignacio machin" "splash screen"
I have posted code for doing this exactly.

This is what i have done..

SplashForm.Chec kForIllegalCros sThreadCalls = false;
BackgroundWorke r worker = new BackgroundWorke r();
worker.DoWork += new

worker.RunWorke rAsync();

//Do Work Here

}
void worker_DoWork(o bject sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
splashForm.Show Dialog();
}
Hi,
* * * * void worker_DoWork(o bject sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
* * * * {
* * * * * * splashForm.Show Dialog();
* * * * }- Hide quoted text -
You are actually doing the work in the first thread, and just showing
the splashForm in the worker thread.
Wouldn't it make sense to do it the other way around?
You could show the splash screen, do the work in the worker thread,
wait for the work to end and then
define a RunWorkerComple tedEventHandler to close the splash screen.
This will require a cross-thread operation I think, but you can
achieve this by
following this method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...28(VS.80).aspx

I am using C# 2005 and have created a splash screen that runs on a seperate

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.

Hi
In my app I have a SplashScreen, a login form and a main form. On launching
the app, I'd like to show the SplashScreen while reading config files and
attempting a database connection. I show progress of these tasks on a label
on the SplashScreen form.
Once this is completed ok, the splash screen should close and the login form
should be displayed. A successful login closes that form and shows the main
form.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
