Marvin,
>From http://www.pfcguide.com/faq/faq_apmn.asp#logon_closing -
"The logon window is closing by itself when the splash window is used."
This problem occurs when the splash and the logon windows are opened from
the same event. The workaround is to place them in different, posted,
events (pfc_open, pfc_postopen) or adding a Yield() between the logon and
the splash windows.
Let us know if that's not it, so we can make other suggestions.
Another related thing that we did was to put code in the Logon window's
OK/CANCEL buttons - so the user may "key ahead" and type in their password
and press enter without waiting (or so the user may "key ahead" and type
"Esc" to escape from the app if they changed their mind).
// Wait until the splash window has expired, and make sure it closes
if IsValid(w_splash) then
n_cst_datetime lnv_datetime
lnv_datetime.of_Wait (w_splash.inv_splashattrib.ii_secondsvisible)
close(w_splash)
end if
parent.SetRedraw(TRUE)
Super::EVENT Clicked( )
Have fun,
~Sharon
