Multiple Splash Screens? Is this possible, I need more than one in my project

New D.I.C Head Joined: 21 Dec, 2007 Posts: 26 Thanked: 1 times My Contributions	Heres the scenario, In my project I have an initial splash screen which sits on the screen till the data is loaded for the main start up form (Takes about 20 seconds) the data is Oregon Weather Data. When a user clicks on the main form, there are some buttons that require more data to be loaded from the state of Washington (another 20 second wait) I want to reshow a different splash screen at this point so the user does not think the program is not responding. Is background worker something I can use? or is that used in asp only? Wish I was born with a .NET type brain

Then, when your loading code is finished, it hides the splash screen and shows the form again(after it's been populated).

Possible status bar idea? I think sooooooo. With .NET you could even include other controls like progress bars etc in the status bar to give the user all sorts of visual cues that something is going on.
