Ever wanted to have a cool splash/loading screen for your app, but didn't know how to do it? Well here's how




Step 1. Make a form and set the border style to none, now add a picture box to it, now import the image you want to have as your splash screen into the picture box. Like below

Step 2. Add a timer with an interval of what you want! (1000 = 1second)

Step 3. Double click on your form and add the following code

Timer1.start


It should look something like this

Step 4. Resize the form to just fit the picture box and double click timer1

Step 5. Now add the following code

Form2.show (or whatever form your main app is)
Me.Hide
Timer1.Stop


It should now look something like the below
