Adding a Splash Screen

A splash screen is a stack that appears after the user launches your application but before your main application window loads. This lesson shows how to display a splash screen in your application.

Configure Splash Settings in General Tab

1) Specify the minimum amount of time the splash stack should be displayed for.
2) Provide the name of the stack file (relative to the launcher.rev file) that will be used as the splash screen.

Notes:

* The splash stack could be displayed longer than the specified time if your application takes a long time to initialize.
* The path to the stack file is relative to the launcher.rev file. So if your splash stack was located in a components subfolder then the path in (2) would be components/splash.dat.
