Follow these steps to add a splash screen to your dialog based application:

  • Copy the Splash.cpp and Splash.h files from this example project to your project.
  • Add the following code to your applications InitInstance() method in the CWinApp
    derived class:
  • #include “Splash.h”

    BOOL CDialogsplApp::InitInstance()
    {
    // CG: The following block was added by the Splash Screen component.
    {
    CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
    ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);

    CSplashWnd::EnableSplashScreen(cmdInfo.m_bShowSplash);
    }


    }

  • #include “Splash.h”

    int CDialogsplDlg::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct)
    {
    if (CDialog::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1)
    return -1;

    // CG: The following line was added by the Splash Screen component.
    CSplashWnd::ShowSplashScreen(this);

    return 0;
    }
