Full Screen videa and Splash Screen confliction
-
I am currently developing application that plays videos for people in a simulator. The video player was developed by an old employee who has since moved on. The old developer used the elecard librarys/SDK to create the video player. The player works pretty good. However, When I close the player and attempt to load another video the desktop is displayed for a short period of time. I tried to create a splash screen to hide the desktop using (CSplash - A Splash Window Class) project found on here. However, the splash screen stops working after new video player is loaded with file and ready to play in full screen. The splash screen window still exist in task manager but the screen is not visible and task manager says it;s not responding. I tried to use tweakUI General, Focus, Prevent applications from stealing focus option. However that did not work:( Is there way to ensure, the splash screen is always on top? Any help here would be great.

Your splash window is on same thread or a different one? may be your window is there but is not refreshed as your application thread is busy doing some other task. Also, the idea of hiding desktop sounds like a quick, nasty fix. I hope it's not the case..

The placed the splash screen it's own application and it still failed after the video open full screen. I think the problem lies somewhere in video process feed of windows. Scott
