I am coding a program in vb.net but I am facing a trouble which I don't know how to fix.
I have 3 forms.
Form 1 = Loading
Form 2 = Successfully loaded
Form 3 = Main
So, when the program starts, it opens the loading form and it is waiting until the program is loaded. I want to add a delay of 10 seconds after the load before the success page shows.
So, I tried these methods:
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000)
But it freezes the application and it doesn't work as intended, it shows the application before 10 seconds.
And I also tried with Timer, setting the interval to 10,000 but it doesn't seem to work, it displays the form instantly.
Any alternative solutions???
My code:
Public Class Loading
Private Sub Loading_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Start()
Me.Hide()
Success.Show()
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Timer1.Interval = 10000
Timer1.Stop()
End Sub
End Class
I think that the best way is to use a timer.
