My VFP window suddenly become fullscreen, no min, max, close button. 1

How can I get back to the normal window of VFP 7. I can only close it by alt f4. I checked all the toolbars but still no title bar.
I pressed F11, F12, I end tasked it, still didn't work. Opening a new window only shows Standard toolbar.

Can you get at the VFP command window? If so, try the following:

_SCREEN.Top = 20
_SCREEN.Left = 10
_SCREEN.Height = 400
_SCREEN.Width = 400

or, if that doesn't work:

_SCREEN.WindowState = 2

If that doesn't work, can you see the Properties window? If so, check that the drop-down list at the top of the window says "Screen". Then make the above settings there.

If you can't get at the above windows, come out of VFP, then locate the Resource files (FOXUSER.DBF, FOXUSER.FPT), and delete them.

Thank you so much sir Mike! The window state = 2 worked. I don't know how I triggered that weird fullscreen mode.

Glad to see you got it working. It's happened to me from time to time. Just one of those peculiarities.
