I`m writting a win-app with BC++ 3.1 ( using OWL ) and would like
the application to start up by displaying a bitmap that covers the whole
desktop with a modeless dialog box on top ( exiting the app is to be done
with an accelerator ).  Thus, I do not want the window container at all
on the screen.  Could someone please show me how this can be done and
possibly send me some C or C++ sketch-code for the bitmap part.

A reply would be greatly appreciated.
