Timer acting weird - vb.net

Question

Hi guys I have another problem which is all about the timer..the form that I would want to show for 3 seconds is only showing for about half a second. Please help me thanks in advance
Main form code:
Private Sub submit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles submit.Click
'question 1
If Label1.Text = "Who invented the airplane?" And TextBox1.Text = "third" Then
Label2.Text = (Label2.Text) + 1
correctmsg.Show()
correctmsg.Hide()
Label1.Text = "Who invented the telephone?"
Return 'Don't do any more checks this time around
ElseIf Label1.Text = "Who invented the airplane?" Then
'Reason ElseIf (In case the question was 'who invented the telephone' then the first errormessage should not not be shown)
wrongmsg.Show()
Return
End If
Splash form code:
Public Class correctmsg
Private Sub correctmsg_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Dim mysplash As New correctmsg
mysplash.Timer1.Interval = 3000
End Sub
End Class

Answer 1

Something like this:
Public Class correctmsg
' correctmsg == mysplash ??? so this is a form??
Private Sub correctmsg_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Timer1.Interval = 3000 ' could be a timer here
End Sub
Public Sub ShowMsg
Timer1.Enabled = true
me.Visible = True
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Timer1.Enabled = False
Me.Visible = False
End Sub
End Class
I am just showing the form by making it visible. No need to make a new form. When the timer expires, hide the form and disable the timer. To use it:
correctmsg.ShowMsg
' this was hiding the form as soon as it shows:
'correctmsg.Hide()
