Gif Files

I'd like to run a gif file once on my splash screen and then for my main form to load instead of using the timer contol.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance,

ummmm....I'm a little confused, the help says:

To display a splash screen, use a Sub Main procedure as your
startup object and use the Show method to display the form

but I'm sure that you have seen this. I don't see why you
couldn't fill the window with a gif file using the simple expedient
of putting up a blank form and then using BltBit to transfer the
GIF to the formforeground.

Am I missing something here?

A Splash screen is a seperate form than your normal form, so you use sub main so that in main you can do:

Code:

---


'...
frmSplash.Show
frmMain.Show

---

or something like that, but you can use a form to do that task... its just a suggestion!
