Hot Key Form Designer - Code window

[letsgotovegas]

Hi All
Is there a hot key that will take you from the code window to the form designer window. Which keys take you back and forth.
ALSO When I run my app and then go back to vfp , VFP has closed all my form designer windows. How can I stop this. Thanks for any help!!

Kind Regards
John

To much of a good thing - is a good thing!

Hi John,

Yes. Ctrl+TAB.

When I run my app and then go back to vfp , VFP has closed all my form designer windows.

Have you got a CLOSE ALL in your main program? If so, that would explain it.

A workaround would be to add MODIFY FORM <formname> NOWAIT to your closedown routine -- but be sure to remove it when you ship the app to the user.

Yes. Ctrl+TAB.

Mike,
Is this a VFP 8 or 9 hotkey?
I have always used Ctrl + F1 or Ctrl + F6 to switch between windows.

When I run my app and then go back to vfp , VFP has closed all my form designer windows.

VFP must close those windows in order to compile and run them, if they are a part of the app.

Dave,

Is this a VFP 8 or 9 hotkey?

I always thought it was a Windows hotkey -- but it doesn't seem to work in VFP 7.0.

I suppose another option would be Alt+W, then 1 (or 2, or whatever is the position of the form designer in the Window menu).
