I just want to show the project title and developed by or some Image in the start, as with most products Adobe Acrobat, MS word etc).

I had tried a technique using a timer but in that hte title bar of the window is still there.

I just wanted to dispaly a picture before load of the main form.

True ... the title bar is still there, but use it to your advantage. Depending on the version of forms that you are using the Set_Window_Property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, , ) enables you to change the TITLE and possibly ICON_NAME (to get rid of the Oracle Icon and use your own).

As the main form will live in the same window as the flash screen use this opportunity to take over the screen real-estate and show your application's name.

Please read the doco on the commands. It depends on the version of Forms that you are using. 9i/10g has it, 4.5 and 6 do not.

Basically issue the command:
Set_Window_Property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,ICON_NAME,'my_icon');

In fact I had displayed the SDI window as Splash Screen, and I want to remove the title bar of that form.

Unfortunately we can only use the options that are available to us.

There are reasons why we didn't use the SDI feature but I will have to check old notes as to why. I think one reason was because the users were inclined to force-close the first browser icon (as it didn't look as though it did anything) or they used it to go to other web pages and this killed all the other browser sessions that contained the forms.

Create your image as a bmp file. Open the form builder and paste onto your canvas in an image area. (I think ... try it.)
