I have a splashscreen running on a thread from Sub Main and it works OK. It
displays information in a statusbar about queries. I also have a time on the
splashscreen, but the tick event never gets fired. In the Load Event if the
splashscreen I call the timer's Start() event. HOw do I get the tick event
to fire?

Bob,
There are 3 timers, which one are you using?

As Cor mentioned, there are 3 timers available. Since you are looking for
the Tick event, I assume you are using the System.Windows. Forms.Timer timer.
This timer runs on the same thread as the main application thread. As a
result, while you are doing some processing, the main thread is busy doing
that work and is not free to fire the Tick event of the timer. I would
suggest using the System.Timers.T imer timer and watch for the Elapsed event
(similar to the tick event). This timer runs on a different thread than the
main application and hence the thread will be able to fire the Elapsed event
when the timer's interval is completed.
hope that helps..
Imran.

Perhaps one of the examples here: http://www.gotdotnet.com/community/u.../?query=splash
will help you.

Say I have two seperate timers in my app (it's strictly an example, I
don't really...) and each of the timer events calls the same method of the
form's class. Will these interfere with each other at all? Will they run
as if they're threaded?
Example:

I have a form application with a timer event on it and a couple of

The problem in my class is that I have created a timer and it

And in the timer event handler I have code that checks for a count of

I'm currently working on an app in VB.NET 2005 which uses a splashscreen.
In the 'my project' settings I used the 'Spash screen' setting to set the

There's a control ctlText on the Splashscreen. I also have this property on

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
