splash screen and vb6 addin

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm trying to load a splash screen for my addin along with the startup splash screen on IV. The IV splash comes on but when mine tries to come thru it just looks like it cuts a hole thru the IV splash screen, and does not fully come on until IV is fully loaded. I currenty have it coded as such, is it in the wrong place?

Private Sub ApplicationAddInServer_Activate(ByVal AddInSiteObject As Inventor.ApplicationAddInSite, ByVal FirstTime As Boolean)

'the activate method is called by Inventor when it loads the addin
'the AddInSiteObject provides access to the Inventor Application object
'the FirstTime flag indicates if the addin is loaded for the first time

'initialize global variables

Set objInventorApp = AddInSiteObject.Application
blnAddInLoadedFirstTime = FirstTime


'add addin activate code here
'e.g. event initialization, command creation etc.

frmSplash.Show

End Sub

Thanks
Wayne

I see from some of your previous posts that it's an OS probelm. Is this correct?
Thanks again for your help!!

That was almost 2 years ago! Looking at the issue, it appears
to me that the problem was worse on XP, not 2K. And eDrawings
or possibly any other addin with a splash screen also interfered
with it.

Funny... I didn't even look at the post date.
Seems to work perfect on my work station windows xp pro. But freeze on my old laptop window 2000 pro. Time to upgrade perhaps.
