If it just displays & then goes, you need to add a Spash Screen to your
project (Project->Add to Project->Components->Visual C++
Components->Spash Screen). If you want a dialog (i.e. some user
interaction) then I tend to put a dialog in the Document's constructor.

You might want to take a look at:

As I recall, the splash screen code built into MFC has some problems (I
don't remember the details for sure, but if memory serves, it's
something about reacting incorrectly to the user dismissing the splash
screen early by clicking on it).
