GOAL:
How to create a splash screen for a Progress session
GOAL:
How to customize the image shown when the client starts
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1x
OpenEdge 10.x
Windows
FIX:
Starting from 9.1C, the "Powered by Progress" splash screen was introduced. This splash screen can be changed by simply replacing %DLC%\bin\splashscreen.bmp.
For more information, see Progress Solution 21143, "How To Suppress the Progress Title Screen"
To create a splash screen using 4GL:
1. Create a frame with an Image widget and parent this to the current window.
2. Resize the frame and window to fit the image.
3. Center this window on screen using the height and width attributes of the SESSION and the window.
An example is supplied with development licenses, and is located in %DLC%\gui\aderes\u-logo.p.
Note that this will not be a "true" splash screen - it will still have a Window title bar and borders. These cannot be suppressed using only 4GL.
