Splash Screen Problem

[Ross C.]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a windows application in VB.NET.
It is an MDI application, and I have just added a splash
screen that is displayed in the beginning of the
constructor of the mainform, and then is hidden at the
end of the constructor (after all the init is done for
the mainform).

The splash screen has a background image that fills all
the form. There is also 4 labels on top the the
background image. The problem is that for some reason,
when the splash screen is displayed, the labels are not
displayed. In fact, instead they act as if they were
transparent, so I see whatever is behind the form on my
desktop.

Any idea what can I do for this?

thanks,

Ross

Just do a application.Doevents to force the painting of
that spash form..
