1. Create a Form for your splash screen.
2. Use a variable (e.g., gShowSplash) to flag whether or not the splash
screen has been or should be displayed.
3. Use PrefSetAppPreferences to save the flag between program executions and
PrefGetAppPreferences to get the flag when the program starts.
4. In your PilotMain, in the sysAppLaunchCmdNormalLaunch case, just before
FormGoToForm(MainForm) which opens your main form, include something like:
if ( gShowSpash ) ShowSplash();
5. Code for ShowSplash():
static void ShowSplash( void )
{
FormPtr frmP;
frmP = FrmInitForm( SplashForm );
FrmDoDialog( frmP );
FrmDeleteForm( frmP );
gShowSplash = false; // if you don't want to do it again
}
To modify this so it won't display when the checkbox is cleared, add code to
get the value of the checkbox (which should also be saved with your app
preferences) and set the value of gShowSplash accordingly.
