MODAL screen checkbox 1

[JPGalea]

Is there a way to make the MODAL SCREEN checkbox in the PROGRAM->GENERATE Screen->More >> option the default? This box is normally unchecked.

Thanks,
Joe

Yes, but not as long as you're "generating" screen code individually.

Put the screen in a project, and set the "screen set" properties there. The project is where VFP remembers your build options.

I forgot. You can also add:

#READCLAUSES MODAL

to the setup code of your screen. That will subvert all settings in any project and make the screen generator add MODAL to your READ.

Search the help file for screen generator directives for more information.

I do not recommend this approach, but hey, people did it.

If you have screens that you always want to be modal you could add .T. MODAL in the "On Screen Exit (Valid)" code section of each screen(I'm using FPW 2.6). Then you don't have to click the modal button when you generate the screen. Actually, if you do click the modal button with this code in place, the screen will error out.
