How to display logo or picture while loading form?

Hi EveryBody,

Can anyone tell how do I display/show logo or picture when loading a form, NOT ON THE FORM, and it disappears after loading is complete.

The easiest way that I can think of off the top of my head would be to create another form that would act as a "splash screen" type of thing. If you set the border style to none and set the back color to the same as the transparency key, then you could throw on a PictureBox with your logo image. You'd have to do a bit of coding for positioning it in a way to appear like it's over your focus form, but that could work for you.

increase opacity of the splash form as it loads and then decrease it,

And then launch the main form from splash form
