    hi guys,

    Im very foolish in vb so I would like to ask how can I put up a welcome or startup page for an application that I would like to do in VB? I mean like for example if you open Microsoft Office application there was the startup small square first saying the office application that was opened. How is that?

    thanks

    Hi, i belive what your asking about is called a splash screen, if you google that you should come up with some good examples and/or tutorials in the case of vb a splash screen is just a form (like all the other forms) but its a default form that is the 1st one to be loaded.

    Many people like to have a splash screen with a button to continue the button would simply hide the splash screen and show the next main screen like form1 for example.

    If you want to have some sort of "fade out" you would have to code this, again you could google that to find examples.

    Hope that helps
