 * width="100%"|

ID: Q100565

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SUMMARY
The Command window must be unhidden differently in FoxPro for Windows than in FoxPro version 2.x for MS-DOS, as demonstrated in the example below.

MORE INFORMATION
In the example below, before hiding the Command window, an ON KEY LABEL command is set to run the program UNHIDE, which will restore the window. Normally, this program would be called programmatically from a menu option or valid routine.

1. In the Command window, type:

ON KEY LABEL F12 DO unhide 2. Create the program, named UNHIDE.PRG: ACTIVATE WINDOW hidecomm ACTIVATE WINDOW command IN SCREEN RELEASE WINDOW hidecomm 3. Follow the standard method of hiding the Command window, as in  FoxPro for MS-DOS:

DEFINE WINDOW hidecomm FROM 1,1 TO 3,3 ACTIVATE WINDOW command IN hidecomm 4. When you are satisfied that the Command window is hopelessly irretrievable, press F12 to restore the window. Additional reference words: FoxWin 2.50 2.50a KBCategory: kbprg KBSubcategory: FxprgGeneral
