wx.adv.SplashScreen

wx.adv.SplashScreen shows a window with a thin border, displaying a bitmap describing your application.

Show it in application initialisation, and then either explicitly destroy it or let it time-out.

Example usage:

bitmap = wx.Bitmap('splash16.png', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_PNG)

splash = wx.adv.SplashScreen(bitmap, wx.SPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN | wx.SPLASH_TIMEOUT,
                             6000, None, -1, wx.DefaultPosition, wx.DefaultSize,
                             wx.BORDER_SIMPLE | wx.STAY_ON_TOP)

wx.Yield()

Class API

class wx.adv.SplashScreen(Frame)

Possible constructors:

SplashScreen(bitmap, splashStyle, milliseconds, parent, id=ID_ANY,
             pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize,
             style=BORDER_SIMPLE|FRAME_NO_TASKBAR|STAY_ON_TOP)

SplashScreen shows a window with a thin border, displaying a bitmap describing your application.

Methods

__init__(self, bitmap, splashStyle, milliseconds, parent, id=ID_ANY, pos=DefaultPosition, size=DefaultSize, style=BORDER_SIMPLE|FRAME_NO_TASKBAR|STAY_ON_TOP)

Construct the splash screen passing a bitmap, a style, a timeout, a window id, optional position and size, and a window style.

splashStyle is a bitlist of some of the following:

• wx.adv.SPLASH_CENTRE_ON_PARENT

• wx.adv.SPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN

• wx.adv.SPLASH_NO_CENTRE

• wx.adv.SPLASH_TIMEOUT

• wx.adv.SPLASH_NO_TIMEOUT

milliseconds is the timeout in milliseconds.

Parameters

• bitmap (wx.Bitmap) –

• splashStyle (long) –

• milliseconds (int) –

• parent (wx.Window) –

• id (wx.WindowID) –

• pos (wx.Point) –

• size (wx.Size) –

• style (long) –
