Open form on first run

[Nean]

So I've googled the shit out of this, but to no avail. I've been looking for a code, that will allow me to set events and whatnot to happen on the first run of a program. So for example, I make a program, on first run frmabout pops up with the controls, etc, etc. Any clue if this is possible?

Umm you could have frmMainMenu come up and have in the code Form_Load(or add form_load)

Code:

frmAbout.visible = true

or something like that and have a close button on it.

Well, I dunno if you use a client side setup.ini file, but that's how I'd do it since I already use one to store options and the userame and password.

In the Setup.ini you could have something like:

FirstRun=Yes
or
FirstRun=1

Then check the ini for that value, If it's yes (or 1) then open the new form, then write to the ini "No" or 0 to prevent the form from popping up after that.

Thanks Sonire , I think I'll do something like that. Also thanks for the answer DarkX, just not what I was looking for. =]
