after form load event

[robdunfey]

Hi,

I am trying to write a simple little app using vb.net. It has two forms, one is a splash screen the other is the 'application' I call the splashscreen first then use a timer to delay the loading of the second form. The loading of the second form (and timer) is in a sub called LoadSecondForm. I want to call this sub once the first form has been fully loaded and displayed. Load is called before the form is loaded and Activate doesnt seem to work? Can anyone please suggest the event I should use?

Rob,

I had a similar situation and I had to create a thread in my first form. What I did was in my form1, I declared a form level variable say isLoadComplete and at the end of load event I set that to TRUE. I also created a thread in this form and that thread just kept on checking the value of isLoadComplete and if it is true then start the process you want to do there.
