Hi there
To run a splashscreen for 5 seconds and then load the main form you need to add some code in the SplashScreen_Load event that declares a new timer, add a handler to an event that fires when the timer expires, set the timer interval, and the call Timer1.Start() like so:

VB.NET

Dim Timer1 As New Timer
        AddHandler Timer1.Tick, AddressOf Tick
        Timer1.Interval = 5000
        Timer1.Start()

Then you need to add a procedure that will fire when the timer expires like this:

VB.NET

Private Sub Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

        Dim newMain As New Form1
        newMain.Show()
        Me.Close()

    End Sub

You must not forget to set the splashscreen as your StartUp form , and also to set the ShutDown mode to When last form closes

Hope this helps
Happy Coding

Hi
Thanks for the previous solutions

I am using dataset control for crystal reports inside the dataset i type tables and then pass it to thte crystal report.
Using this way i have a feeling that if i have 300 reports the dataset control will definately become heavy and the application will get slow.
My question is:

1) Is there any other way of doing it using untyped data set without using the typed dataset?
2) Is there a way i can use it without a dataset control?

please help
Regards

Application ID cards, I have an application that keeps track of 5000 or so employees with their picture. I need a way to print an ID card with their picture on it. I can make the picture show in a window when they bring up the employee, however how do I print some information and a picture on paper or plastic ID card? Is their an API or something???

Re: dynamic printing pictures in vb6.0

The API is VB6's Printers collection and Printer object - see the help file, in particular Printer.PaintPicture for the image and Printer.Print for the text.

I think you want to print multiple ids with employee image. So You sould get the paths of Image and id's in array.

and at the time of printing get the picture by using path and print it.

If you can think then I Can.

I can retrieve the picture in a picture control on a form. How do I get this image on a piece of paper? I can get the other information I need to print on the paper. I would like to print the ID card with picture using crystal reports, but I you know how to control the employee picture to a piece of paper using vb6.0, vb.net 2008, or Crystal Reports 8.5 developer I would really like to see the code.

Thanks

Failed to create setup file using Visual Studio 2005

Hi, dear all,

I have a simple project that I want to create a setup file for it.

I followed the instruction as the following link:
Visual Studio Windows Application Setup Project[^]

But it is very strange that after I add a exe file and uninstall.dat files to Application Folder, then
when I create shortcut in User's Program Menu, set the WorkingFolder property to Application Folder, when I click Target property and try to browse the exe file in Application Folder, it only allow me to select folder instead of the exe file.

What's wrong?

Thanks!

Hi,

I create a DataGridView control and add three column to it at runtime, I try different ways but the button text is always empty, did I miss something or did something wrong? The codes as following:

Dim ColumnBrowse As New DataGridViewButtonColumn()
ColumnBrowse.HeaderText = "Browse File"
ColumnBrowse.Name = "btnBrowse"
ColumnBrowse.Text = "Browse"
ColumnBrowse.UseColumnTextForButtonValue = True
ColumnBrowse.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Standard
ColumnBrowse.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.DisplayedCells
DataGridView1.Columns.Add(ColumnBrowse)

Thanks
