Question

Simple question but I can’t seem to find the answer – can someone tell me which event causes the splash screen to be closed.

I thought it would be either the startupform.Activated or some application level event but I can’t find it.

The reason for the question is that I want to control when the splash screen is closed myself – can I do this?

Answer 1

As Cody Gray remarked, the MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime property controls this, which was part of an answer I recently posted here: Winform Splash Screen – VB.NET – Timer

Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel

Namespace My
  Partial Friend Class MyApplication
    Protected Overrides Function OnInitialize(commandLineArgs As ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)) As Boolean
      Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000
      Return MyBase.OnInitialize(commandLineArgs)
    End Function
  End Class
End Namespace

This code comes from clicking on the “View Application Events” button in “My Project”, “Application” tab.
