Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ShowMode | **Form** | A ShowMode value that specifies the SplashScreen‘s display mode. |
Available values:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Form | Displays a splash form. |
| Image | Displays an image specified by the SplashScreen.SplashImage property. |
Remarks
The ShowMode.Form is the default display mode, where the form is displayed with all the controls added to it.
To display an image as a splash screen, set the ShowMode property to ShowMode.Image. When a SplashScreen is displayed, all the controls added to the form are hidden. Only the image specified by the SplashScreen.SplashImage property is displayed in the form’s background.
Note that you can still allow custom controls to be displayed above the image by enabling the SplashScreen.AllowControlsInImageMode property.
In ShowMode.Image display mode, image transparency is supported. So the SplashScreen.SplashImage may be of an irregular form and contain shadows, if required.
Note
Fade effects are not supported in ShowMode.Image display mode.
