SplashScreen in WPF

[Vista06]

Hey.

In Publier, I have a slight problem. On an XP machine, the window opens before it is ready to, and skips over the animations (only on a first run. After that, it is fine). They seem to have removed the Window.Load function in WPF, so how to I do a SplashScreen now? After all, all I want the SplashScreen to do is pre-load all the main programs required things, then show it.

Thanks, Vista

Could you not create a sub main() and load the components/required functions in the splash/first form?

This will probably explain it:

It's specifically for splashes with an alpha channel, but it should explain normal splashes too. I'm no WPF coder (well not much) so I couldn't say

I am doing C#, but in a WPF project, things work a little dufferently. Like I said before, MS removed the "form.Load" function. I only have Window.Show(). When I get back home, I will try whar Grant said and the site Gorda mentioned.

I don't know much WPF and I don't understand your question very well so I don't think my post would be very helpful.

Is "form.Load" not an event? If it is the event you are looking for then WPF has a Loaded event.

Form.Load is an event, but Window.Load isn't. For all I know, doing Window1 win1 = new Window1() might pre-load it. Who knows? :p

I'll try everything here and see.

Why not just use normal C# Forms? WPF isn't the answer to everything

I can use WinForms for the SplashScreen, no problem. I do want WPF for the main window, for too many reasons to list here.
