Description:

This is a yet another control which can be use as an aboutbox for your applications. The control is derived from CStatic and is made up out of three parts:

1. A background image
2. Scrolling credits
3. Rotating flying logo

Usage:

To use the class in your application you need to do the following:

1. Insert the .h and .cpp files into your project.
2. Add a static control into your dialog resource.
3. Add a member variable for that static control.
4. Modify the variable declaration.

Change this:

CStatic m_AboutCtrl; 

To this:

CAboutCtrl m_AboutCtrl; 

5. In your dialog's constructor set text for the credits:

CString strCredits = "\tCAboutCtrl Example\n\n"
                     "\rProgrammed by:\n"
                     "Pablo van der Meer\n\n"
                     "\rSpecial thanks to:\nwww.codeproject.com\n\n"
                     "\rCopyright © 2002\n\rPablo Software Solutions\n"
                     "\rAll right reserved.\n\n"
                     "http:\\www.pablovandermeer.nl\n";
m_AboutCtrl.SetCredits(strCredits);
