    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    Tamar, I can understand (although I don't practice) associating code with their "natural" objects (buttons, forms, etc) and building up a nice library of super-reusable code --and I imagine that's what you have. But --when you return from vacation, of course-- could you point out an advantage...

    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    Tamar, I see why you wouldn't need it. I got into the (bad) habit of writing short proceedures but putting them all in one big "batch of proceedures" prg., so the pre-Max ability of VFP 6 (my version at least) was really nice. ... Anyway, thanks for looking into it. Dennis

    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    I'm sorry for your trouble Tamar! This isn't something I do every day, but I did try pulling the video down on a couple of computers --with Firefox-- and it worked. May I suggest this: Point your browser (as the expression goes) to "www.workingteacher.com/stuff". You should see a page with...

    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    Well all, Here's the video I promised. It's an attachment (a link to a url --I hope it works). There is one small change, I hope you don't mind. It is VFP 6 --not 7-- that I was using happily in the old days with pre-maximized windows ... as the attached video attests. At the start of the...

    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    Imaginecorp -- I've been doing what you suggest --and it's ... OK. But it was so much nicer when a window would just pop in pre-maximized. Also, you get an extra 1/4" or so working space at the top because there is not top window bar. I remember my work flow was smoother with the...

    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    Video en route. I need a few days ... Dennis (First VFP, then VFP+activeX, then VFP to html, then VFP to mySql+PHP+javascript)

    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    Mike, For me "program", is synonymous with ".prg". So, when I said in my first post, "previously opened window (of a program or a form)", I just thought everyone would know I meant .prg or .scx. I didn't consider that the more accruate terminology would be "code editing window", so I...

    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    Tamar, Mike --- I need a few days, but I'm going to install VFP7 on another machine and make a real time screen recording of me opening a program window (test.prg), maximizing it, closing it, and then re-opening it (Pre-maximized for my convenience, courtesy of VFP-!). I'll then so the same...

    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    Tamar, Mike -- Thank you both very much for your help on this. But I am Sure (almost beyond a reasonable doubt) that it wasn't until VFP 9 that this "problem" began. Perhaps neither of you maximized your windows inside of VFP before and so never missed the loss! Maybe it was a bug that was...

    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    Hi Mike, Thanks for those suggestions. Launching VFP with properties set to Maximize (nice trick, I didn't know we could do that) didn't work, unfortunately. I tried opening, maximizing, closing, and re-opening a program, and it still wouldn't open maximized. I've never used a start up...

    Remembering Maximixed Windows in VFP 9

    This is a small problem, but a nagging one I haven't found any reference to. I'm using VFP 9 in Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit varieties). VFP will remember the size of a previously opened window (of a program or a form) and provide that when I re-open the window, but if I last used a window...
