Start form

Hello. I am using VB 2005 (Windows Forms). Microsoft proposes a start form
that displays some program information at the start of the program, and then
disappears. What drives the fact that this form disappears ? Elapsed time ?
Some event ? Where is this logic explained ?
Thanks for your help,
Gilbert

This form is called the "Splash Form" you can set which form to use as
your splash from the project properties tab. Using this, you don't
have to worry about any of the logic that goes into using the form. If
you really want to know what it does, you'll probably have to use a
tool such as Reflector, as I don't believe the implementation has been
published by Microsoft.

Thanks,

Check the following in the Help index:
MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime
The screen will be displayed for a minimum of this time. If the main form
is still loading after this time increment, then the spash screen will remain
untill the main form is loaded.
