Adding Splash Screen in DLL

[iltallman]

Can anybody tell me a resource for adding a Splash screen to a DLL. Splasher and other classes require a CWinApp or CMainFrm object - my DLL does not have these. Basically, I want to display an intro or splash screen to a library DLL when not properly registered. It would go away after a short period. Thanks

One solution is to simply implement an MFC DLL. As for the splash screen, one solution is a dialog box. Kuphryn

Since you don't know how the caller is going call your DLL, this is a really bad idea. It's best to return an error code and then let the calling application notify the user.
