I am trying to run some code using "Startup" in "Application Events" while my SplashScreen is shown. But I can't even begin to get started because all of the tutorials describe things that I do not see. Here is what I see.

Where do I even begin?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

You should see another couple of options under that General item and I'm not sure why you don't. If you create a new Windows Forms Application project and click that same button, do you still not see MyApplication and MyApplication Events items?
I'm glad it's not just me being inept. When I open a new project and click the same thing, this is what I see.Quote:

Thoughts?
Then click (MyApplication Events)
So, just to be clear, you didn't have those last two options available in that drop-down list in your original project, right? If that's the case and it was a WinForms application project then I can only assume that something was corrupt and can't really say why.
Yes. You are correct. But what can I do about it?

No idea. That project is broken but exactly how and what to do to fix it may be very difficult to determine. I would suggest creating a new project and, if necessary, import project items from the old one.Quote:

That was my thought too, so I tested and the View Application Events button is then disabled, along with various other items including the Splash Screen. Even if the button is clicked first and the ApplicationEvents.vb code file opened before disabling the Application Framework, those additional options were still available in the left-hand drop-down when I tested.Quote:

I tried importing my forms with "add an existing item", but it isn't exactly as seamless as it sounds. Or it may be that something is seriously wrong with the first project.
Either way, thanks for the help!
