NAME

       Tk::Splashscreen - display a Splashscreen during program initialization.

SYNOPSIS

	$splash = $parent->Splashscreen(-opt => val, ... );

DESCRIPTION

       For programs that require large load times, it's a common practice to display a Splashscreen that occupies the user's attention.  This
       Toplevel mega widget provides all the display, destroy and timing events.  All you do it create the Splashscreen mega widget, populate it
       as you see fit, then invoke Splash() to display it and Destroy() to tear it down.

       Important note: be sure to sprinkle update() calls throughout your initialization code so that any Splashscreen events are handled.  Remem-
       ber, the screen may be animated, or the user may be simply moving the Splashscreen about.

OPTIONS

       The following option/value pairs are supported:

       -milliseconds
	   The minimum number of milliseconds the Splashscreen should remain on the screen.  Default is 0, which means that the Splashscreen is
	   destroyed as soon as Destroy() is called.  Otherwise, Destroy() waits for the specified time interval to elapse before destroying the
	   Splashscreen.

METHODS

       $splash->Splash([milliseconds]);

       If milliseconds is specified, it's the minimum number of milliseconds the Splashscreen should remain on the screen.  This value takes
       precedence over that specified on the Splashscreen constructor call.

       $splash->Destroy([milliseconds]);

       If milliseconds is specified, it's the minimum number of milliseconds the Splashscreen should remain on the screen.  This value takes
       precedence over that specified on the Splash() call, which takes precedence over that specified during Splashscreen construction.

BINDINGS

       <ButtonPress-3>

       Notifies the Splashscreen to set a mark for an impending move.

       <ButtonRelease-3>

       Moves the Splashscreen from the mark to the cursor's current position.

ADVERTISED WIDGETS

       Component subwidgets can be accessed via the Subwidget method.  This mega widget has no advertised subwidgets. Instead, treat the widget
       reference as a Toplevel and populate it as desired.

EXAMPLE

	$splash = $mw->Splashscreen;

	... populate the Splashscreen toplevel as desired ...

	$splash->Splash(4000);

	... program initialization ...

	$splash->Destroy;

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();
