Splash screen "Do not show this again"

[SolomonPulapkura]

How do I create a splash screen before loading the map, which displays some info and has a checkbox saying "Do not show this again"

How do I program the checkbox so that when checked, the next time map loads, splash screen is not displayed.

Thanks for your help

Hi Jen,
Well that does not seem to have a checkbox asking "Do not show this again". I want to be able to program such a checkbox on the splash screen so that when checked, the next time map loads, splash screen is not displayed.

There are 2 ways I can think of:

1) Machine specific - use the Isolated Storage to save a flag not to show it again
2) User specific - save the setting to a "settings" file on the server or use a database to save the setting.

Could you please provide some sample code?

Thanks Marten.

I am not sure you can use the isolated storage for the splash screen which is displayed while the application is loaded because at this time, by definition, the application is not yet loaded.
So I would be more thinking about something in Javascript and a storage as cookies.

That being said, I never tried, so just my 2cts.:)

True ... I was assuming that the SL app would already have been loaded.

Thanks for all your input.

I did try using Isolated Storage and was able to get rid of the Splash Screen appearing the next time the web map loads by saving the user pref from a checkbox.
