Splash Screen in MDI application

Hi all,

I am new in VB.NET.
I am trying to develop a MDI based Application with Menu, Statusbar, Logon
Dialog and Splash Screen.

How Do I start with?
As in VB 6.0 I used to Write the Code in MAIN Module to display the splash
screen and login dialog and after login I used to open the MDI Parent
window with all the menu ites set as per the Logged on user rights.

So can any body give me some sample code or web site where i get get the
idea how to implemnt these things in real time applications.

Thanks.

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?

Hi, I have created an application which uses a SQL server database. I created a mainform which retreives all the customers. This takes about 3sec. I have created a splash screen too. I use a module to open the splash screen and then the mainform. The splash screen opens up, mainfrom load, but still it takes 3sec for the data to show up. What i want is while the mainform loads, i want to show the splash screen.

In vb2005 Express: In My Project Application Splash Screen I have selected my splash screen form. The form opens on project startup but closes immediately before anyone would have time to read it. I presume it only stays visible while the main form initialises. This is not long enough but I can't see how to slow it down. Should I set the splash screen using the Application settings or go back to

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.
