i would like the startup form to display after the splash screen is finished. i have set everything using the project properties menu as...

startup form --> mdiparent
splashscreen --> splashscreen

when i run the program, both those forms are displayed at once. i would like my mdi to display after splash goes away.

Why not just have your application start the splash screeen and then when it is "done" have it start the main window of your program?

Hi: When Access opens, the user gets a glimpse of table lists and other ugliness before the startup screen appears (set in the startup process). Is there some way that i can avoid this and even maybe have some sort of image or form that appears. The key issue is when a user opens the applications, I don't want them to see the "engine", just the user end of the application. Regards

This is my problem :- - I have set a form frmSplash as the startup form instead of sub Main. - This means I dont create an instance of it myself at startup.. its automatically created. - I have a timer on frmSplash set to 3000 ms interval - and here is its tick event : Private Sub tmrStartup_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrStartup.Tick Dim frmParent As New frmParent frmParent.Show() Me.Close()

The user object is global to the entire application. This will need to loop until the user logs in or cancels. If the login succeeds, I need to display a splash screen while the app is performing the necessary startup processes. The user may...

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.

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
