Runtime _Screen displays then resize 1

[openthinking]

Hello,

When I run my exe a full size window appear and then it resize to the define height and width I have entered with the _screen command. Is there anyway I can prevent this from happening.

Thanks

if you want the window to be a specific size why not set it as a propery or put it in the load event of the form so it reads the property before the form is actually created?

The screen I am having the problem with is the main screen that all other screen reside in. I define the size with the
_screen.height = 500
_screen.width= 775

when I run the program the main screen start at the upper left corner and then the correct height and width is set.

Is there a load event?

Thanks again

Hi Openthinking,

Are you saying that you don't want the user to see the screen at its original size, and then see it suddenly resize itself? You'd like the user to see the screen only at its final size?

If so, put this line in your Config.FPW file:

SCREEN = OFF

And put this line in your main program, soon after you have changed the _Screen's height and width:

_SCREEN.Visible = .T.

That way, you will avoid the unpleasant jerky effect of seeing the screen resize itself.
