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();
