Splash screen and loading forms

[RadioX]

I have forgot how to do some of the simplest things these days...Need to get out of the web and back into some VB apps for a while

I want to load a splash screen then after like 5 seconds load my menu form.

From there the user will be able to click a button such as Employees and it should unload the menu and load the form employees. When I click the the exit button on the employees form it should load the menu form and unload the employee form.

Thanks for your help
Ron

Okay to make a splash screen click add form .. Splash Screen.

For the button thing...

employees_click
main.hide ' this gets rid of the main.
employees.show ' this will show the employess
end sub

You just reverse that to go back, note the code won't work but its just an example.

Ok I did the form add splash screen it adds it but when I run my program I get no splash screen. Just the original form that I fist made (i have since then added others) including the splash. I must be missing something here. It is late too

Thanks
Ron

Whats the first form your loading? Either set your splash screen m to load up in your vb project properties, startup object.

Or if using a Sub Main have Splash.Show

O yeah sorry I meant to tell u to tell u to set a start up.

I'm new at this, but I have made a standard form for a splash screen and put a timer control on it. Under the timer control after setting the time I just put the Unload Me command.

Don't laugh now
