moving forms

[fluppeke]

Dear Colleagues,

I have write a program in vfp7 sp1.
No problem with it.
What really is a problem is that on the pc's with desktop speficiation windows xp style i can't move the forms.
On those with windows classic style no problem.
All the users are on pc's with windows xp sp2 and they would like to hold the specification windows xp because of the colors

Any suggestions are very welcome


wfg,

i can't move the forms.

When you say you cannot move the form. do you mean you cannot drag it around on the screen?

VFP 7.0 was created prior to XP and has no support for XP Themes - that I am pretty sure, is the cause of your problems.

I am afraid that I don't know any solution, other than to either run in Windows Classic (i.e. no theme mode) or to upgrade to a version of VFP (either 8.0 or, better yet, 9.0) that DOES incorporate support for Themes.

We have customers with VFP7 apps in usage on WinXP clients and no problems with Themed forms. The controls still are rendered in classic style, but titlebar is themed and movable.

If the problem is a themed look of the whole applications surely VFP8 is the minimum.

Bye, Olaf.
