[DUG] Show splash screen across two exe files
Hello everyone, I got two exe files a.exe, b.exe. I want a.exe startup to show a splash screen. And a.exe will launch b.exe and a.exe will quit. I want b.exe once finish launching and close the splash screen. How to do that?

You can have a.exe start b.exe and then just wait in the background... then when b.exe exits a.exe also exits and closes the splash screen.

Re: [DUG] Show splash screen across two exe files
Leigh I would do a slightly different sequence you run a, which shows the splashscreen and lauches b, when b has initialises it sets a mutex which a detects and exits (closing the splash) HTH Neven Hello everyone, I got two exe files a.exe, b.exe.

RE: [DUG] Show splash screen across two exe files
Good idea. Could enhance it by passing a Windows message from b.exe to a.exe telling a.exe to shut itself down, at which point, the splash screen will obviously disappear.

Re: [DUG] Show splash screen across two exe files
You could cheat and make both exes show the same splash screen. I expect it'll look like what you say.

I talked to my collegue and decided to do this way. Just display two different splash screen in both application, so user will know something is still starting.

Re: [DUG] Show splash screen across two exe files
The way mine works is that a starts its splash screen (which has the progress info on it) and launches b. b has the identical splash screen and just takes over, the user does not notice that the screen has been replaced. And a dies in the background. Havent had to use any process locking means. Leigh Wanstead wrote: Hello everyone, I got two exe files a.exe, b.exe. I want a.exe startup to show a splash screen.

Re: [DUG] Show splash screen across two exe files
or,
A opens B, then sits and waits until...
FindWindow('MyForm', nil) 0
...then closes. FindWindow is in the Wondows unit and tells you
whether a window is open or not. That way A starts up withthe splash
screen and sits there until it knows that B has loaded and is
displaying it's 'MyForm', then A closes, leaving B to it.
