loading splash and main form

I am trying to create a custom setup project.
I know this is very silly, but want to know what is the best way so that
when I start my setup I should see a splash form and then my main setup form.
Shall I have a controller class which will display the splash form and then
it will display the main form.
But how do I wait in my controller class until my splash form is done
displaying and and then again wait until my main setup form is done taking
all the user preferences and return back to the controller class so that I
can begin the installation.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Can someone look at this and tell me why, when I call this from my main app, it displays fine (fades form in and out) but then before my main app displays, I see other dialog boxes flash monentarily on the screen and this delays the main app display? Here is the fade which I compile to a dll and call from my main app: using System; using System.Threading; using System.Timers;

In a new project I'm creating, I have my first form that loads being used as a splash screen, with a timer that activates after 5 seconds. I then want the main form to load. However, it isn't allowing me to use frmMain.Load(). What can I use to load the main form, then unload the splash screen? Or should I, perhaps, load an invisible control form that first loads the splash screen, waits five seconds, then unloads it and loads the main...

Hi I have created a splash form with no border. When I try to open this form in my main form using DoCmd.OpenForm "Splash", , , , , acDialog, the splash form opens with a form border. If I use DoCmd.OpenForm "Splash" then splash form opens without a border as desired but then the main form starts to appear before splash form has gone. How can I get the splash form to open without a border?

Hello folks, 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. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
