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);

  }

  …

  …

}

• Next, use class wizard to add the OnCreate method to the CDialog
  derived class .cpp file, and add the following code to it:

#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;

}
