I believe that the toolkit has a sample program which does this, however,
one way to do this is to spin off another thread which displays the product
information (while the other thread continues to initialize). During your
WM_CREATE processing, you set a timer (using WinStartTimer) to send yourself
a WM_TIMER message. When you get that message (or the user clicks on the OK
button), you use WinStopTimer to stop the timer, destroy the window, and exit
from the thread.

I would also suggest that you use the INI query function to get the timeout
value from the "PM_ControlPanel" application, key name "LogoDisplayTime".
See Appendix H in the Programming Ref volume 3 for details of this variable.
