Question How can we have the progress bar in operation before the initial form starts? I mean i want the progress bar to be viewed before the first form is loaded.
Answer Bibek,
You could make a form with a progress bar on it and make that your start-up form. That form could load your current start-up form and could close when it is done loading.
The other option might be to create another program that has a progress bar in it which would load the real program. Once the real program is loaded, the program with the progress bar could close. I don't recommend doing this because there will be a lot of problems with it, but it is an option.
