Thanks for a great library.

Im trying to provide a splash screen before the application is loading while various processes are being executed. I have a basic CWND that is created, however, I dont know which class to use to give the XP theme im using in the main App, I basically want the WND to look like the main app and allow myself to paint some additional information over the top. I dont really need all the overheard of a CFrameWnd, and wondered if there was a class or template prefix I can use to achieve this.

Many Thanks

The splash screen is too simple to be included in Prof-UIS. You can use the CSimpleSpashScreen class from the GLViews sample. We guess you simply forgot to include the manifest resource in your project. You can addd it to your .rc2 file as it is done in our sample applications. If you want to apply the theme based on the Windows XP theme API, then you should simply install the CExtPaintManagerNativeXP paint manager class:

g_PaintManager.InstallPaintManager( RUNTIME_CLASS( CExtPaintManagerNativeXP ) );
