How to create a splash screen

Hi,
Is there a “prescribed” way of getting a splash screen to come up at startup
in a photon application?
I did a search in helpviewer as well as on the QNX web site and found
nothing.
I guess I can create a dialog and use ApCreateModule/ PtDestroyWidget to
bring it up/remove it but that doesn’t seem right.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Sylvain,

The way I’ve done it before, is to start my application, but in the initialization
function, spawn a splash program that closes itself after 5 or 10 seconds.
It works fairly well.
