Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I wanted to build a component for a splash screen for use with my apps. Firstly for hopefully a “wow” factor, to give the app some pizzaz on loading. But also more practically, the app take a few seconds to run its OnStart, so figured I’d hide that behind a splash screen, with the title and maybe a pretty logo, etc.. Just a 3 second timer, then slide into the main screen.

What is the best way to go about animating a Progress bar for three seconds? I figure I could use the new progress bar control, or something like it, along with a timer to fill up the bar, but can’t quite wrap my head around it.

Hi @GlennBullion ,

Download a GIF online. E.g.

Create a new “Loading” Screen and insert your downloaded gif into this screen
Ensure the StartScreen property in the App object is set to the Loading Screen
In the loading Screen, insert a Timer control
In the AutoStart property of the Timer control, change to true. This will automatically start the timer control when the screen has been navigated to when the App starts
In the OnTimerEnd property, enter the following:
Navigate(your destination screen name,ScreenTransition.Fade) – Note that Screen Transition is optional
In the Duration property of the Timer control, set the duration (e.g. 3000 = 3 seconds)
Hide the Timer control
