Thanks to RiverGuy 1

[HaworthBantam]

Found a posting you made 2nd Dec 2004 regarding splash screens and some code for displaying the splash screen and then the main form.....

Sub Main()
Dim fs As New FormSplash()
fs.Show() : Application.DoEvents()
Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000)
fs.Close()
Dim fm As New Form1
fm.ShowDialog()
End Sub

As a newbie to dot net I found this very useful.

Thanks.

PS Is it too late to give you a star ?

haha Thanks onpnt, but I believe this one is all RG's work I think I've stolen enough code from him to fully appreciate his efforts here as well.

> No, wait until he sees the thread and posts here... give him a star then.

LooL ;P

> Or if you are bored to wait, find a thread that he posts in it and give it there

LooL again

as long as you don't give him more then 30 stars it's fine by me.

Thanks Howard - I'm glad you found the reply and code useful, although it looks like that particular post had other contributors working on a common solution of which I was just one.

 

[HaworthBantam]

Modest as well.

I note that the contributors included ThatRickGuy, another upstanding member of the Tek Tips community. However, your solution was elegant and filled me with a warm glow that only particularly sexy code can instil.

I hope my other half doesn't get to read this, she may have an issue with that last sentence.

Anyway, please accept a star, and keep up the good work.
