Re: [wxperl-users] Wx Splashscreen

[Mark D. <mar...@zn...>]

Hi,

I've not tried it, but the splash screen is really just a Wx::Frame with the wxSTAY_ON_TOP style set.

So, if you use the 'full' constructor and simply don't specify wxSTAY_ON_TOP, that should work.
You can load the Login dialog (giving IT a wxSTAY_ON_TOP style) and Destroy the splash frame when you are done.

my $splash = Wx::SplashScreen->new( 
$bitmap , 
wxSPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN|wxSPLASH_NO_TIMEOUT,
0,
undef,
-1,
wxDefaultPosition,
wxDefaultSize,
wxSIMPLE_BORDER|wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR );

Regards

Mark
