Why bother using a plugin for something as simple as a splash screen?
Pretty simple just to use a big sprite or paste an image.

Yes, download it from my web site, exit and re-load DBPro and lo! The splashscreen commands will be in blue.
In RobK's editor you may need to rebuild keywords list, but doing that a few times should sort it...

TCA I meant to ask, how is it that one can make their plugin commands recognized by the editor? Some ini/other file placed somewhere or something?

thanks...

Put a new .ini file in
<dbpro dir>\Editor\Keywords\
Just look at the existing files for syntax.

great, thanks

edit: Just for anyone else reading this you can add the ini keys/values pairs like this

YourCommandName==(your args descriptions or whatever text)

I did that without using a section name and that worked too but for safety all the others start with the section [LINKS], then the key/value pairs below. Since I am not pointing to any htm file I just used the "==" without a problem.

Thanks again

I always add the HTML part (just in case I can be bothered to do any help files).
