I open the splash window in the pfc_preOpen of the frame (the frame is
invisible). I show the frame at a later point. The only quirk with this
design is that the statusbar service will show up before the frame. In the
pfc_postOpen of the frame, I wrote :
if isValid(this.inv_statusbar) then
this.inv_statusBar.event pfc_hide()
end if
That shortened the display of the statusbar before the frame.

Marvin,
We also follow the logon and splash screen concept,
If possible would suggest that, your splash follows your logon, say user
wants to logon and has given password then and clicked ok then only the
splash screen comes into existance else not.
Find the attached code, it works fine in our application, may be it will
give you some hint
//// Initialize the various functionality of this service
of_SetTrRegistration(TRUE)
//of_SetError(TRUE)
/* connecting DataBase with Parameters */
/* Connect to REMOTE DB */
of_populate_connectionvalues(sqlca)
/* connect to database */
sqlca.of_connect()
If SQLCA.sqlcode <> 0 then
MessageBox ("Cannot Connect to Database", + &
"DBMS Message;" + &
String(SQLCA.SQLDBCode) + &
' ' + SQLCA.sqlerrtext, StopSign!)
Halt;
End If
This.of_SetSecurity(True)
itr_sec = Create n_tr
of_populateconnectionvalues(itr_sec)
//Connect Using itr_sec ;
itr_sec.of_connect()
/* Controlling the No.of user's into Data Base */
//This.SetTransPool(25,150,10)
/* Open Logon Screen*/
INTEGER li_log_retval,li_cnt
//li_log_retval = of_logondlg()
Do While li_cnt < 3
li_log_retval = of_logondlg()
If li_log_retval = 1 Then Exit
li_cnt += 1
Loop
This.inv_security.of_InitSecurity(itr_sec,"ritsmain",gnv_app.of_GetUserId(),
"Default")
IF li_log_retVal = 1 THEN
// Display the Splash window
of_SetLogo("Rits.bmp")
of_Splash(1)
// Open(w_selectmodule)
Open(w_ritsmain)
END IF
