Showing a form from the executable 1

[cfriedberg2]

I have a VFP 6.0 project that has only one form. When I work in development, the form shows up just fine from a prg named main using the following command:

DO FORM reportselection.scx

When I compile the code into an executable, there is no form. What is necessary to show the form so the user may interact with it.

see help:
READ EVENTS
after DO FORM ....

Actually what I have is just that

DO FORM reportselection.scx
Read events

Do you have SCREEN=OFF in config.fpw? If so, make sure Form.ShowWindow = 2 (as top level form).

 

[Dan Freeman]

Oh, and make sure your PRG is set as main in the project manager. If you added the form to the project, it's set as main instead of your prg.

Also, make sure that the form executes CLEAR EVENTS when it is closed (for example, in its Destroy).

The answer was in the config.fpw. I also have made certain that I have a Clear events command. Thanks for the advice.
