Hi

Thanks

Hi,
the purpose of this Form Style is to display a splash form during the loading time of the application (to show it is actually loading), then it vanishes...
Depending in how long it will take to initialize your app, it could flash or stay several seconds.

From Lazarus beta 0.9.2 released

- new FormStyle fsSplash to easily create splash screens
Usage: Just set FormStyle to fsSplash and move the form
to the top in the project options.

From How does FormStyle fsSplash work?

Is it meant to run automatically as the first form and disappear when the main form is activated?
- Yes

If you need a minimal time of display, you could a component like SplashAbout or use a trick like this one .

Hoping it will help you

Hi Tony
Thank you.
I did a splash screen set formstyle = fsNormal and borderstyle to bsnone.
But I dont know why the form disappear (at design time) when i set formstyle=fssplash.
Thanks.

Same problem: the form disappear at design time

fsSplash makes my Typhon crash with embeded designer mode, but ok without.
Just use F12 to make it appear when needed.
Or you can let it as fsNormal, and set fsSplash only at run time.

F12 does not work even in embeded designer mode
