Timed Splashscreen

[sciguyryan]

For my program, if I would want to display a form, picture or something before the main app loaded how would I do that? Im pretty sure it has something to do with the timer icon but I'm not sure how to use that, hope anyone can help a newb

Heres the idea:

Create a form (Say for an example frmSplash).

Add whatever you like to that and add a Timer to that with an interval of 10000 (10 Seconds).

In the Timer1_Timer Event put something like this:

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    ' Show the next form...
    frmFormNameHere.Show (vbNormal)
    ' Unload this form...
    Unload Me
End Sub

Or, something like that

Cheers,
