I think it's because the Form_Load event happens before the form itself is shown, therefore there is nothing to hide. I'm not sure but that's my guess, I don't have a solution for you yet though. I'm sure someone here will come up with something soon.

Hello,

Try

this.hide

Or

this.hide()

Cannot remember if it needs the brackets or not.

Hi , i test it but it`s not work too !!!

[onlinessp]

use

this.hide();

before opening another Form i think then it will work

Apologies,

i forgot to add to the end of the code ;

this.hide();

thanks for pointing that out onlinessp, i'm new myself and still finding it tricky to remember what to type when not in front of the code on my computer.

Try this

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);
    this.Opacity = 0;
}

protected override void OnShown(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnShown(e);
    this.Visible = false;
    this.Opacity = 100;
}

Or this if you're not happy with overrides.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Opacity = 0;
}

private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Visible = false;
    this.Opacity = 100;
}

public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Hide();           
            SplashScreen splash = new SplashScreen();
            splash.Show();
        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Show();
        }
    }

but its not work !!!

The form is shown by the shown event.
Hiding the form before this has no effect as the Show method will override it.
My code uses the forms Opacity property to make the form invisible.
Since you do not actually need to 'hide' your form you can set Opacity to 0 in form load then set is to 100 in your timer event.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //this.Hide();           
            this.Opacity = 0;
            SplashScreen splash = new SplashScreen();
            splash.Show();
        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //this.Show();
            this.Opacity = 100;
        }
