Image at startup.

[Jesper]

Hi folks

Like word, photoshop and other programs, an image is
shown at startup while the program loads dll's, and plug-
ins. I would like to do the same with a windows
application I've made while it reads some files and
establish a connection to a database. I can display an
image in the application just by draging an PictureBox to
the form and set the path to the picture. But how do I
show the picture in a window without frames that pops up
in front of and controlled by my application. Do you know
of any good tutorial on the subject.

Thanks and best regards
Jesper.

Look at the BorderStyle property on your form (System.Windows.Forms.Form).
Set it to None, I think.

Yes that is the way and in your core (Main form) contructor
Add these..
TCAB.TcStartUp lobjStar = new TcStartUp();

lobjStar.Show();

//Initialize..

//additional operations...

//Loadings...

lobjStar.Close();

LobjStar = null;

Don't put a timer or don't use thread sleep they both will puase the
interface unnecessarily
