Hi there,
This is my scenario :
Inputform > has 3 input boxes, user can only use one.
OK button launches the SplashScreen
SplashScreen is a basic form with a text box saying "please wait" and a marquee progressbar
SplashScreen on load does this:
$InputForm.Close()
Find
Find - does various searches (AD,DNS,DHCP,SCCM)
Once it's done all of this, it launches - SearchOutputform
SearchOutputform is the main form where all of the data collected by Find is diplayed, and has a number of buttons to do various things.
What i'm trying to achieve is this, when the OK button is pressed on the Input form, there can be a long delay before the Find function does it's work, and then fires up the SearchOutputform form.
I want to have the SplashScreen showing WHILE the Find function is doing it's thing, then when the Find function has completed, it closes the SplashScreen and opens the SearchOutputform.
What i'm getting with the above logical order is that the splash screen only shows AFTER the SearchOutputform is closed, even though it's called before.
How can i get this to work ? What would the technique be ?
Please help !!
Many thanks
Damian
