I just downloaded and opened Visual Basic 2010 Express for the first time and I'm in need of some help to get started.
I'm looking to make a program that will start with a splash screen and then automatically move onto the main application, kind of like the Adobe products where there's a little splash screen while it loads and then it goes to the 'main program'. (See example below)
I've managed to make a form which will be my main program and also added a default Splash Screen by going to 'Add New Item..' I have tried adding a button on the actual Splash that takes the user on to the form when clicker, BUT what I want is for it to move on to it automatically.
So it's like Splash (5-10 secs) > Form1.
It's probably very simple but like I said I only just opened this for the first time now xD
Anyone know what code and where I need to put it for this? :O

It's pretty easy to fix.
Lets say Form1 is your loading screen, add a timer to Form1. Now add this code on timer1_tick (Double click the timer):
Make timer1 enabled by default, less code, much easier.
Images i made, so maybe it will be easier to follow my instructions

You could just goto Project > Add > Windows Form and select Splash Form, then under project settings, set the startup form to the splash form, no need for timers or anything else since it's done for you automatically
