Getting msgbox to appear on top of splashscreen VB.net 2005

steve

Hi All

I have a form set as the splashscreen in project properties

Is there any way to get msgboxes to appear on top of the splashscreen

If I don't hide the splashscreen then the program just stops as msgbxes from
licence checks etc cannot load on top
Regards
Steve

You've asked this before, but apparently still don't have what you want.

Why would you want a messsge box on top of the Splash Screen?

It would be helpful to know exactly what you are trying to accomplish with this message box.

If no license, is the message box simply info to the user, and the app still runs (evaluation
maybe?) or not allow the app to run?

You can show the login stuff after the display of the splash screen.
You do not need to cover it. After all, that's your advertising ...

Another option would be calling directly your splash screen (skipping
the built in one), where you can do whatever...

Hi Gene

The messagebox is for evaluation copy of program

I have figured the best way to do it based on the different replies to my
posts and am happy with the results

OK, a "Nag Screen".

I trust you are launching this from the main form's ShownEvent.
