Use StartupForm

[Lascar]

Can someone give me an example on how to use 'StartupForm'? I don't understand VB's help definition

 

[WJProctor]

Ok there are two ways that i know of: The first is to use timers. Put a timer on the Splash form, for 5 seconds or summot. When the time is up, load the form you want the user to see first and then close the splash form. This is the simplest way and gives a good effect.

If how ever you want the program to be doing some checks while it loads then do it this way.

Set the program to start with Sub Main.
Put Sub Main in a module like so

Sub Main
Load SplashForm
'What ever checks you want to do here
Unload SplahForm
End Sub

Hope that helps out

Regards

Actually, whatever form is suppose to load on startup, I want to stop it. I think StartupForm must equal "", but how do I use it

Set Project|Properties|Startup object to SubMain if you need to do stuff beg=fore a form loads
