I'm going to recommend that you avoid starting an app by running a form.
There is no upside to doing this and you're experiencing the downside. :-)
Declare a PUBLIC Sub Main() and have that be the starting point. Then you
have complete control of what happens and when.
Public Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() as String)
' show the splash screen
' load the user settings initialize stuff
' hide the splash screen
' if everything is okay so far
' show the login dialog
' if the login is successful
' run the main form
' end if
' end if
You have a chance to get the command line arguments (if there are any) and
you can display and hide the splash screen at will. You also have the user
settings prior to anything much else happening which might contain settings
for screen positions, colors, sounds, server name, etc. And the main screen
isn't loaded until the login is successful.
Re: your splash screen timing. I wrote a SplashScreen class that does it
all for me but basically you set the "minimum" time you want it to display
as you display it. There is no reason to set up any kind of timer at that
point but you do make note of the time it was displayed. When you go to
close the splash screen the routine first checks to see if the
initialization took longer than the minimum time (check the time now against
the time you saved). If it is over the minimum it goes ahead and closes the
screen if it is less than the minimum it goes to sleep for the remaining
amount of time and then closes it.
Hope this helps,
Tom
