Splash Screen Features

[EssexRob]

I have just created a splash screen for my database.

I was wondering if anyone knows anything else that is good to add to this form which would make it look pretty impressive?

I would like to add a loading bar (Similar to the one that appears at the bottom the page on internet explorer). Does anyone know if this is possible? If so how do you do it?

Not a progress bar, but I think better

That's a pretty neat sample. Thanks for posting. If you want to do a progress bar you could have the ontimer event unhide one section of a blue bar at a time.

The same with a progress bar

I think these are great, just one thing how do I reduce the font size. When I replaced the text with my own "Exercise Definition Utility" I found that the text was two big and wasn't all shown. I tried to reduce the font size but the code overwrites that so how do I make it all fit. Brilliant!!

In the sub ShowMe() 8 is the start size, 104 the finish size.

    For I = [color=red]8[/color] To [color=red]104[/color] Step 4
        If I < 73 Then Me!lblSAMPLE.FontSize = I
        If I = 40 Then Me!lblSplash.Visible = True
        If I > 39 Then Me!lblSplash.FontSize = I - 32
        Me.Repaint

Try changing it to something like....

    For I = 8 To 48 Step 1
        Me!lblSAMPLE.FontSize = I
        If I = 40 Then Me!lblSplash.Visible = True
        Me!lblSplash.FontSize = I
        Me.Repaint
