message box show without stopping program

message box show without stopping program

• SarathChandar

  the sleep statement is there only to make sure that I see the form before the program ends.

  I only have one label on the form, the one with the relevant message

  I do not have anything on the form1 load event.

  I am not changing any properties

  The whole code is

  Imports System.Threading.Thread

  Module Module1

  Sub Main()

  Dim f As New Form1

  f.Visible = True

  f.Show()

  Sleep(5000)

  End Sub

  End Module

  Public Class Form1

  End Class

  You could do it with another thread, or create your own form and use Form.Show (instead of Form.ShowDialog).

  Use ShowDialog instead of show...this will keep the form open until you decide to close it...

  "relevant message" are you setting that in the designer

  You are not using McAfee Version 8

  WHat do you have in the form1 load event...are you hiding any of the controls...or changeing any of the properties on start-up....Are you using McAfee version 8

  I am not familiar with a second thread.

  I have tried the form.show without luck

  Module Module1

  Sub Main()

  Dim f As New Form1

  f.Visible = True

  f.Show()

  End Sub

  End Module

  The form does show but the buttons areas are transparent and the labels cannot be seen.

  No need to import threading and get rid of the sleep statement....

  How many buttons and labels have you placed on the form
