SUMMARY:

Many companies like to have a 'Sign-On' screen appear while their
application is loading and initializing. This sign-on screen remains
until the user performs some action that indicates they are ready to
begin using the app. At this point the sign-on screen disappears and
the application proceeds as normal.

This sign-on screen is accomplished with the use of a modeless
dialog box and some extra processing in the main message loop. After
the main window is created and displayed a modeless dialog is created
and displayed. This modeless dialog will usually contain the company
name and copyright information. The main message loop then watches for
any action that would indication the user is ready to work. Mouse clicks,
key strokes and menu accesses all indicate that the user is ready to
begin. In addition to this a timer could be created and the sign-on
screen removed after a certain amount of time (say 5 seconds).

--- This sample works for both Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1
