I'm writing this code but it doesn't work.

C#

    public partial class ProfileFrm : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadForm
    {
       public ProfileFrm()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
       }

       private void ProfileFrm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
            Frm2 child = new Frm2();
            Thread.Sleep(3000);
            this.Hide();
            child.ShowDialog();
       }
   }
}

Are you trying to make a splash screen or seomthing to that effect??

Do you want to hide the form while child has shown?

Why? Would be too confusing to the users.

This solution might not be the most elegant one, but I think it should work for this purpose.

using WinFormsTimer = System.Windows.Forms.Timer;

namespace Test
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Define a timer which fires a tick event after 1 second
            WinFormsTimer timer1              = new WinFormsTimer();
            timer1.Interval                   = 1000;
            timer1.Enabled                    = true;
            timer1.Tick                      += timer1_Tick;
        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Display another form
            Form2 form2 = new Form2();
            form2.Show();

            // Stop the timer to prevent the creation of additional forms
            WinFormsTimer timer1 = sender as WinFormsTimer;
            timer1.Stop();
        }
    }
}

Please don't tell us that things don't work. How doesn't it work ? What does it do ? Unless you have a reason for this form to stay in memory, but be hidden, your best bet is to not do this. Create your main form, and keep it in memory, showing child forms. If you want to show a splash screen, show it in your constructor, so it's shown right away, and hide it in the event when your form first becomes visible.

I think you need this:

C#

private void ShowForm() where T: Form, new()
{
    T form = new T();

    form.FormClosed += delegate(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e)
    {
        this.Show();
    };

    this.Hide();
    form.Show();
}

C#

private void childButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ShowForm<child>();
}

Let me know if it is not what you thought.

Hi! I think the following code will help you. All you need to do is to use a
ProgressBar and Timer.

C#

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    progressbar1_Loading.Value += 2;
    if (progressbar1_Loading.Value == 100)
    {
        Form2 form = new Form2();
        form.Show();
        this.Visible = false;
        timer1.Stop();
    }
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    timer1.Start();
}

So, when progressbar value will be 100 the form2 will load automatically.
