How to get a splash screen to wait for 5 seconds before loading Main.VB form?

Hello,

I'm working on a web browser application. How can I get the splash screen (SplashScreen.VB) to start, wait for 5 seconds and then close and open up the main screen, Main.VB? Code samples, please? Thanks.

Sorry, should have said before: I'm using VB 2005 Express. Thanks.

WHen you are finished with the processing and ready to return call this:

System.threading.threads.sleep(5000)

Enjoy!

The default display time is 2000 milliseconds (2 seconds). You can use the MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime property in the My.Application namespace to change this. Add the following code in the OnInitialize event of your SplashScreen form:

Me.MimimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000

Hope this helps,
