Is there a way to get something to start AFTER the Form has been displayed other than using a Timer.

Example: - I want to display a Form then play a tune. If I put it in Public Sub Form_Open() it will not show the Form until the tune has played.

Try adding Wait before the play.

If Delay is not specified, the function processes all pending events and returns immediately. In that specific case, input events (keyboard and mouse) are ignored.

Ahh. So simple, why didn't I think of that? BUT it doesn't work!!

The attached uses a Timer to get the result I am looking for. Simply change 'bWait As Boolean = True' to
'bWait As Boolean = False' to see that it doesn't react as expected.

Please note the software is in the VERY early stages of development..

 Hello

Can be put the code in:
Public Sub Form_Arrange ()
or in :
Public Sub Form_Show ()

Have a good day

I've tried did's solution.

This works:


However, the Arrange event is not good for this.

Btw., '28.wav' is missing  :?

 Well done Didier that did the trick, I used Form_Show()

The missing note has been recaptured!

UPDATE:

Form_Show() only shows the form immediately with gb.gui
Form_Arrange() does not show the form until the the routine has finished
Form_Open() does not show the form until the the routine has finished
Form_Active() shows the form immediately with gb.gui and gb.qt4

You need one Label on a form for this to work

Oooohh! I like the colours
