Single form on desktop

[fkwong]

I like to create a small EXE that has only one form but I like it to display in the Window desltop without the default Foxpro screen on the backgroud.

I have created an EXE but when I run it from the desktop and the form close automatically without even display anything. I usually has menu in other applications but this particular one does not require calling the form from the menu. I am sure this is a simple stuff for fellow gurus in this forum.

Can someone please advise me? Thanks in advance.

See faq184-1258

Basically, you need a main PRG file which calls the form (DO FORM) then issues READ EVENTS to start the VFP event processor.

Thanks! How do I surpress the window "Microsoft Visual FoxPro"?

That's mentioned in the FAQ: Create a Config.fpw file in the startup directory for your application, and have in it a line:

SCREEN=OFF
or
_SCREEN=OFF

(I don't remember which is right)

Or in the init event of the form, add the code..

_screen.Visible = .f.
