Maximizing Report Preview

[VFP602]

This might sound an old question but I was stuck on this for quite a while. I can't maximize report preview window via the KEYBOARD '{CTRL+F10}'. Tried running my report on both VFP6 and 7 and it still didn't work. As an alternative, I just define a window and maximize it and it worked. But I'm still wondering why the KEYBOARD '{CTRL+F10}' is not working.. Any idea?

The '{CTRL+F10}' is not really avisable because if you have a form running in the background, the form also will be maximized. I would suggest to use a more OOPish way of doing it.

oRepForm = CREATEOBJECT("Form")
WITH oRepForm
 .Caption = "My report Title"
 .WindowState = 2   **This will maximize the form
 .Show()
ENDWITH
REPORT FORM myReport.frx PREVIEW WINDOW (oRepForm.Name)
oRepForm.Release()

Though, it does the same result whether I do it the usual way by 'Define window.....', I guess it's much better to do it the OOP way as this will familiarize myself with OOP. Thanks!
