Description

The original CAboutCtrl class, which is written in MFC, is made up out of three parts:

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

I have ported it to WTL for my shareware. All functionality has been kept.

Usage

To use the class in your application do the following:

1. Insert AboutCtrl.h into your project.
2. Place a picture control on your dialog.
3. Add a member variable for that picture control:

CAboutCtrl m_AboutCtrl; 

4. 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"
                     "\rPorted to WTL by Ma Weida\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);

5. Subclass the picture control in the message handler corresponding to WM_INITDIALOG:

m_AboutCtrl.SubclassWindow(GetDlgItem(IDC_ABOUT_CTRL));
