FormBorderStyle Question?

[Debbie Carter]

I have a ShowDialog in the Sub New of my Main form. I want the dialog to
show before the main form finishes loading. On my Windows 98 test machines
when the dialog shows it is maximized when I have the FormBorderStyle set to
normal. Is there any way around this besides setting the FormBorderStyle to
None? The ShowDialog always comes out the right size and centered on the
screen in the later operating systems like XP. I would like to have the
border and the title bar show on Window 98 systems but I don't know how to
get around this. Any help would be appreciated.

Is this a splash screen?

There are a few ways:

1) Call the form from Sub Main in a module, which will be your startup

2) Set the MaximumSize property of the form

3) Use a FixedSingle FormBorderStyle

I hope these Ideas help

Crouchie1998...thank you. The MaximumSize worked fine. When I did that the
CenterScreen stopped working but I just centered it inside of the program
and then it worked. Once again...thanks for your help.
