SplashFast(3pm)

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\n" ;
my $win = myFrame->new() ;
$win->Show(1) ;
$myApp->SetTopWindow( $win ) ;
$myApp->MainLoop();
