Packages  Description
Very pretty Splashscreen and application launcher. Highly configurable.

Xbase++ applications require some time to load and then initialise the runtime system before the application dialog can be displayed. If you want a splashscreen displayed so the user knows something is happening, then this will do it for you.

Written in Delphi, it is a small executable which when run will launch any Xbase++ application. It displays a highly configurable splash dialog, launches your application, and when your application's Application Window appears, Splash terminates itself.

Splash is 'smart' - if your application is already running, it makes it's AppWindow visible (restoring it if it is minimised) and forces it to the front of all other applications.

Handles GUI and CRT mode applications equally well.

Splash can be configured to launch many applications - all you have to do is select which application to launch. For each application, you can configure:

  • Text in Splash's titlebar
  • Main text displayed on splash screen
  • Copyright text displayed on splash screen
  • The image displayed (BMP,ICO,EMF)
  • Parameters passed to launched application
  • Minimum time splashscreen is displayed
  • Maximum time splashscreen is displayed (timeout)
  • Linger time if requested application is already running
  • Don't force application to front if it is already running
