What approach is best described as a best practice for creating a
splash screen as your program is loading? Advice?
I'll offer an opinion on this.
Some are going to tell you not to have a "splash screen", but I
like to throw my company name and a fancy logo in front of the user
at start.
Be sure to allow your "splash" to be dismissed with a click.
I just make the splash the default window and then go to the first
screen when the splash times out or is dismissed.
Also, my observation (no hard evidence) is that the full screen
splash is passe. Use only the screen real estate you actually need.
Just my .02
Here's my .0165 CND Cents.
Splash screens really don't do much as programs load much faster
these days. That is, unless there very large like Rb.
They can provide info and should be self closing unless they have
something to do with how your program starts up.
You don't need it to be the default window as that won't open until
the end of the open events. You may find that they sometimes
interfere with the Rb open events and should not be modal in any way.
