Start Executable in Maximized Window

[Tammy]

I've finished an application and created the executable file for it. However whenever I run the program using a shortcut, the program will not start in a maximized size, I have to click on the maximum button. How can I format the program so that it will begin in a maximized screen.

Hi Tammy,

Attach a text file to your project named Config.fpw as an <Other File>. In the text file, include the following line of text: SCREEN=OFF. This will start your application with the VFP _Screen object invisible.

In your main prg, include the following lines:
_Screen.WindowState=2
_Screen.Visible=.T.

Rebuild your exe and you're ready to go. Jon Hawkins

You can also change the property of the shortcut to:

RUN: Maximized.

Or in your starting program before the first form is called
modi window screen font &quot;MS Sans Serif&quot;,8
zoom window screen max

Hi,

Since we are in this topic. I like to know how can my application on startup, cover the whole screen, including the Win2k/WinXP start button. My application run on a kiosk, hence the start button must not be seem.

I am using VFP6 and VFP8.

Any advise is very much appreciated. Thank you
