Hi,

I have compiled an application with executable with one form. When I run the
program the form shows up inside an application frame with menu and toolbar.
How can I disable that so only the form would show up on the screen? Thank
you.

Frank

Hi Frank,
You can use
SET SYSMENU OFF
for hiding the menu and
HIDE WINDOW Standard
for hiding the default VFP toolbar. For names of the other toolbars, right
click on the space next to the toolbar. All listed names can be used like
HIDE WINDOW "windowname"

It can be that the window isn't defined when you just call them all. If so a
WEXIST("windowname") can help to test the toolbar is defined or not.

HTH,
Sietse Wijnker

Hi Frank,

Change your form's ShowWindow property to 2 (As Top Level Form)

Include config.fpw file in the startup directory that includes the
line:
SCREEN=OFF

Regards,

Mike

Thank you for your feedback. I used information from both of your messages.
I did what Mike's email said but it didn't eliminate the menu and the frame
but it did make my frame independent from it. I eliminated the menu bar
using the SET SYSMENU OFF but is there another command to eliminate the
status bar too?

Frank

Hi Frank,

A config.fpw text file in the startup directory with SCREEN=OFF in it
should suppress the _screen from showing at startup. Check the help
for "config.fpw".

You can also use _screen.visible=.F. or _screen.hide in your startup
program but you will see the _screen flash.

Regards,

Mike
