Splash Screen double click event to open form

[RoyLittle0]

Hi,

I am trying to create a basic backdoor to my program to allow access to some settings, it is to be accessed from the Splash Screen, with a double click event on the Author Label, the form opens up but closes again when the Splash Screen closes. :bawling:

Is there a way of keeping this form open once the Splash Screen has closed

If you're using the splash screen functionality built into VB then you're out of luck. The splash screen is created on a secondary thread, not the main UI thread. It's done that specifically so that the main UI thread can continue loading the startup form. I suggest that you use an About box rather than the splash screen.
