Parameters

Name	Type	Description
parentForm	Form	A Form relative to which the displayed splash form is positioned. This parameter is in effect when displaying WaitForms.
splashFormType	Type	The type of splash form to be displayed.
useFadeIn	Boolean	true to use the fade-in effect when opening the form; otherwise, false.
useFadeOut	Boolean	true to use the fade-out effect when closing the form; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Using this method overload, you can either choose the default behavior and allow the splash form to be centered relative to a parent form, or position it manually using Point structure coordinates. Only one splash form can be opened simultaneously.

Use the SplashScreenManager.CloseForm method to close a splash form.
