I have a Appication starting thought a Module Main sub
<System.STAThread()> _
Public Sub Main()
System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles()
System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(splash)

End Sub

This works great, I start my splash screen and move on from there, now
from my main form I have a about menu option. I want the about frm to
be a model form so I use
Dim frmAbout as new About
frmAbout.ShowDialog()

This works also. but…

When I close frmAbout I get a error



An unhandled exception of type
'System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException' occurred in
system.windows.forms.dll

Additional information: External component has thrown an exception.


Thanks all
Mike
 
Hi Mike,

I am somewhat confusion about your senario,
1. Is the splash in your code a winform? If so, when do you instantiate the
splash?
2. How do you move on from the splash to the Main Form? i.e. how do you
instantiate and run the MainForm

Can you post the code about the question above?

Just a guess, it seems that you will run the MainForm from the splash, and
the splash form will exit, am I right?
If so, I think you may try to call the Application.Run( new MainForm()) and
display the splash form before the MainForm has been loaded.(e.g. in the
Form_Load event)
