INSTALLATION

       Please see docs/INSTALL.pod in source package.

Windows XP look
       For standalone (packed using PAR, Perl2Exe, Perl2App, ...)  applications to get Windows XP look, a file named "App.exe.manifest" (assuming
       the program is named "App.exe") and containing the text below must be placed in the same directory as the executable file.

NAME

       Wx::Perl::SplashFast - Fast splash screen for the Wx module.

SYNOPSIS

	 use Wx::Perl::SplashFast ('/path/to/logo.jpg',3000);
	 # timeout in milliseconds

	 package myApp ;
	 # subclass Wx::App ...

	 package myFrame;
	 # subclass Wx::Frame ...

	 package main;

	 my $myApp = myApp->new();
	 my $frame = myFrame->new();

	 $myApp->MainLoop();

DESCRIPTION

       Using Wx::SplashScreen from Wx::App::OnInit may cause a high delay before the splash screen is shown on low end machines.

       This module works around this limitation; you just need to follow the example.

USAGE

       Just put the code inside the 'BEGIN {}' of your main app, like:

	 sub BEGIN {
	   use Wx::Perl::SplashFast ;
	   Wx::Perl::SplashFast->new("./logo.jpg",5000);
	 }

       or load the module before any other:

	 use Wx::Perl::SplashFast ("./logo.jpg",5000) ;
	 use Wx ;
	 ...

   import ( IMG_FILE, SPLASH_TIMEOUT )
       IMG_FILE  Path of the image file to show.

       SPLASH_TIMEOUT
		 Timeout of the splash screen in milliseconds.

       If you "use Wx::Perl::SplashFast './logo.jpg', 1000;" this has the same affetc as.

	 BEGIN {
	   require Wx::Perl::SplashFast;
	   Wx::Perl::SplashFast->new( './logo.jpg', 1000 );
	 }

   new ( IMG_FILE , SPLASH_TIMEOUT )
       Show the splash screen.

       IMG_FILE  Path of the image file to show.

       SPLASH_TIMEOUT
		 Timeout of the splash screen in milliseconds.

EXAMPLE

	 use Wx::Perl::SplashFast ("./logo.jpg",5000) ;
	 # Don't forget to put your own image in the same path. Duh

	 package myApp ;
	 use base 'Wx::App';
	 sub OnInit { return(@_[0]) ;}

	 package myFrame ;
	 use base 'Wx::Frame';
	 use Wx qw( wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE );

	 sub new {
	   my $app = shift ;
	   my( $frame ) = $app->SUPER::new( @_[0] , -1, 'wxPerl Test' ,
					    [0,0] , [400,300] ) ;
	   return( $frame ) ;
	 }

	 package main ;
	 use Wx ;

	 my $myApp = myApp->new() ;

	 print "window
" ;
	 my $win = myFrame->new() ;
	 $win->Show(1) ;

	 $myApp->SetTopWindow( $win ) ;
	 $myApp->MainLoop();
