Found this old application i wrote 8-9 years ago.
Was for a year 10 IT Class project, where we told:
"Create anything that can assist someone within a School and doesn't require much updating."
This was my submission which consequently gave me the highest mark in the class!
The pause at the start and the ending are fade in/out animations!
Neat, I'm sure that was a lot of fun to write. Did you use MFC?
