In C# I am having a problem with the splash screen. When it is time to close and the main Form1 appears, it moves over to the upper right corner of Form1. It then disappears. I have never had this occur before and have just about run out of ideas to fix it. I want the splash screen to disappear in the center screen and not move over to the upper corner of the opening Form1. Here is the code: public Form1() { Splash mySplash = new Splash(); mySplash.TotalValue = 7; //or however many steps you must complete mySplash.Show(); mySplash.Update(); InitializeComponent(); //--<begin>-------------- this.Hide(); this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; mySplash.Progress++; printDoc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printDoc_PrintPage); printBOM.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printBOM_PrintPage); printList.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(printList_PrintPage); mySplash.Progress++; // using old Kodak Imaging OCX ! axImgEdit1.Image = "\\\\Netstore\\eng_share\\EView\\BOB-eView9.tif"; axImgEdit1.DisplayScaleAlgorithm = ImgeditLibCtl.DisplayScaleConstants.wiScaleOptimize; axImgEdit1.FitTo(0); axImgEdit1.Display(); mySplash.Progress++; //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Getting printer info~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List<Win32_Printer> printerList = Win32_Printer.GetList(); int i = 0; foreach (Win32_Printer printer in printerList) { prnName = printer.Name; prnPort = printer.PortName; prnDriver = printer.DriverName; if (i == 0) { prnNameString = prnName; prnDriverString = prnDriver; prnPortString = prnPort; } else { prnNameString += "," + prnName; prnDriverString += "," + prnDriver; prnPortString += "," + prnPort; } i++; } mySplash.Progress++; EViewMethods.defaultPrn[0] = Settings.Default.DefaultPrinter; //defaultPrn[] is string array holding the default printer name, driver and port EViewMethods.defaultPrn[1] = Settings.Default.DefaultPrinterDriver; EViewMethods.defaultPrn[2] = Settings.Default.DefaultPrinterPort; //making this printer the system default printer object printerName = Settings.Default.DefaultPrinter; ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer"); ManagementObjectCollection collection = searcher.Get(); foreach (ManagementObject currentObject in collection) { if (currentObject["name"].ToString() == printerName.ToString()) { currentObject.InvokeMethod("SetDefaultPrinter", new object[] { printerName }); } } mySplash.Progress++; EViewMethods.reCenterEVafterDwgClose = Settings.Default.ReCenterEVafterDwgClose; if (Settings.Default.ReCenterEVafterDwgClose == true) recenterEViewAfterDrawingViewerClosesToolStripMenuItem.Checked = true; else recenterEViewAfterDrawingViewerClosesToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false; //------------------------------------------------------- EViewMethods.screenBehavior = Settings.Default.ViewStyle; normalToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false; clearViewToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false; clearviewDULevLRToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false; clearviewdULevLLToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false; clearviewdURevULToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false; clearviewdURevLLToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false; clearviewdURevLRToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false; smallScreenToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false; //Form1.ActiveForm.SetDesktopLocation(588, 312); //all screen behavior mode will begin centered on the screen EViewMethods.eviewUserPrefLocation = Settings.Default.FormEviewLocation; //------------------------------------------------------- EViewMethods.syncListToDwgNum = Settings.Default.SyncListDwgNum; if (EViewMethods.syncListToDwgNum == true) synchronizeListToActiveDwgToolStripMenuItem.Checked = true; else synchronizeListToActiveDwgToolStripMenuItem.Checked = false; toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = ""; toolStripStatusLabel2.Text = Settings.Default.ViewStyle; toolStripStatusLabel3.Text = Settings.Default.DefaultPrinter; //~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); AssemblyName asmName = asm.GetName(); EViewMethods.eviewVersion = asmName.Version.ToString(); radioPartInfo.Checked = true; disableAllSearch(); EViewMethods.userName = Environment.UserName; EViewMethods.openConnection(); mySplash.Progress++; EViewMethods.loadFavorites(listFavorites); mySplash.Close(); mySplash.Dispose(); this.Show(); this.ActiveControl = comboEntry; }
