How do I make a splash screen like in Netscape that appears before the application does and only when the splash screen is closed, the application pops up. (I''m using VC6, MFC) And - how do I change the screen resolution and color depth in windows? (Not with DirectX... In win32 or MFC..) Thanks in advance, Gil.

Hi
If you want a splash screen in MFC there is a component you can add to your project.

goroject\Add to Project\Components and controls
in the dialog choose: Visual C++ Components
then it''s the first item in the third column.

I never tried it so I don''t know how it looks like, but I hope I have helped you.

It''s again me, having nothing to do, I started looking for the articel I read about the splash screen. And finaly I found it in a FAQ section. Why am I telling this, because in the articel the author presents a better splash screen solution, better, because there is not so many code added in many different parts of your app and more important because, the splash screen isn''t shown for a predef time but as long as your app is init and have no main window(of caurse you may kill the splash screen earlier). And the best thing of all is there was a CD with the code. So I will
send you an EMail whit the h and cpp file and a short ''how to use this class'' text.
