Yes, it's possible, but that's not the right way to do a splash screen, because there's no good way to force the regions you overwrite to refresh themselves. It IS possible to do a simple GUI window using pywin32 directly. It isn't pretty (it's like coding to the SDK directly), but I suspect it would do what you need. Check in your win32\Demos directory for win32gui_demo.py and see where that gets you. -- Tim Roberts, [email protected] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
