VFP 6 Getting Report Toolbar to dock 1

[eric43]

Is it possible to have the report Preview open in an app with the Toolbar docked instead of floating?

Thanks

Eric

I believe the position of the toolbar is saved in the FoxUser file. Try docking it in dev mode, see if it saves the position in runtime.

Eric,

Just to add to Mike Gagnon's advice ...

If you want your users to have the docked toolbar, you will have to distribute the resource file to them.

Keep in mind that the user will be able to undock the toolbar interactively. As far as I know, there is no way of preventing that. However, if they do, and you want to return the toolbar to its docked position the next time they do a report preview, make the resource file read-only. That way, the fact that the user undocked the toolbar will not be recorded.

Mike

As an alternative to making the entire resource file read-only,...

...implementing that would give you the best of both worlds - a read/write resource file with a toolbar that would always start with the Print preview toolbar docked.
