Toolbar with exe file

[Bryan - Gendev]

I have a new exe file compiled and I see this toolbar across the top of my app's window
How can I remove it please?
The blue above is my desktop and the ochre below is my app's screen.

That's the standard toolbar from the VFP IDE. It usually is only available in the IDE, but would appear in your EXE, if you share your development foxuser.dbf with your EXE.

So don't share the foxuser.dbf. The simplest way to not share it is: Move your EXE into a new folder, starting it, it will create its own foxuser.dbf and that by default will not show IDE toolbars.

If you intentionally share a foxuser.dbf for having some other features, a customized report preview toolbar, for example, well, then close the toolbars in the IDE, copy the foxuser.dbf in that state and your EXE also will have no IDE toolbars opened.

You can hide the toolbar as follows:

IF WEXIST("Standard")
  HIDE WINDOW "Standard"
ENDIF

Put that at the start of your main program.

And to bring it back:

IF WEXIST("Standard")
  SHOW WINDOW "Standard"
ENDIF

You can hide and show other toolbars in exactly the same way. Just use the relevant toolbar name in place of "Standard". For example:

IF WEXIST("Form Designer")
  HIDE WINDOW "Form Designer"
ENDIF

For a full list of toolbar names, see the Help topic for SHOW WINDOW.
