How to increase time out of the splash screen ?

Question

Hello Forum,

I have a descriptive splash screen and I require the splash screen should last for a while so, that the user can read all the content. If there is any possibility could you guys advice me on this ?

Hi,

There is a splash screen sample telling you how to do so. You can get it from:

PTG-Dev,

As Allen mentions, the Splash Screen sample will demonstrate how to implement an "extended" splash screen in your app. Keep in mind that the "extended" splash screen is owned and rendered by the app and appears once the regular splash screen has dismissed. When you use this pattern, the transition from your regular splash screen to your "extended" splash screen is seamless, so users perceive it as one continuous flow. There is no way to alter the length of time that your regular splash screen will be displayed.

For more information about the "extended" splash screen, please visit How to display a splash screen for longer on MSDN.
