Remarks
The ShowForm method creates a splash form whose type is passed as the splashFormType parameter, and then displays this splash form. Splash forms are presented by SplashScreen and WaitForm class descendants.
To close the splash form, use the SplashScreenManager.CloseForm method.
To display a splash form in the center of your application form, pass this application form as the ShowForm method’s parentForm parameter. If this parameter is set to null, the SplashScreenManager will automatically center the splash form against your application’s main form.
If the current ShowForm method overload is called while another splash form is being displayed, an exception will be raised. To suppress this exception, use another ShowForm method overload that takes a Boolean throwExceptionIfAlreadyOpened parameter.
