unload a form

[dbroada]

hopefully a simple question....

 

I want to display a non modal form for about 10 seconds to confirm something has been done. At the moment I have..

The button visible part is just so that I know something is happening. What I want to do is have the Timer1_Tick event unload/dispose/whatever the form.

 

Have I missed an available event or have I approached it the wrong way?

 

TIA
