I am wondering how to make a form just sit there for 10 seconds and then run some code.

I am designing a program and I need to get the first form in the series to pause and just sit there and be displayed for 10 seconds. After that, I would like it to hide that form and change to another.

I know how to hide and show forms, but as for the 10 second delay, I need some help. Any help I receive in this matter is greatly appreciated

Ok don't have an exact answer....but...have used a call to the sleep API, to do something like this for a splash screen, or...could try a timer control with some sort of setfocus or timer1_click or something.

Add a timer to your form, interval of 10000, enabled = true

On the Timer1_Timer event, add your code.

It will execute after 10 seconds after the form loads

Thank you Clunietp and jritchie for the help. Both of your ideas worked great.

Thanks again!
