WPF Splash Screen w/Dynamic Elements. How?

Hi All,

I'm new to WPF, and I need some help. I have a slow-loading WPF app, so I am displaying a splash screen as a stopgap solution. However, I'd like to be able to have the screen change on each run, and display a different quote in a text area (it's a productivity app, so I'll be using non-sappy yet motivating quotes).

I wouldn't post this question if it didn't have broader applicability, of course. Many others need to display version numbers, license info, or loading progress in WPF apps.

Bottom line: Is it possible to create a fast-loading native code splash screen with dynamic text elements, and display it for a WPF app?

Thanks!

Check this splashscreen article on CodeProject.

Hi kek.Thanks for the link. I have seen this though, and it's a good solution except it's not native code; it only displays the Splash after it has loaded the WPF assemblies.

Stefan Olson has implemented a native code splash screen for WPF. You can read about it on his blog here. Maybe this will be of some help to you?
