SUMMARY
To hide the Application Control menu in Visual FoxPro, issue the following command in a program or in the Command window:
_SCREEN.CONTROLBOX=.F.
To get the Application Control menu back, issue this command:
_SCREEN.CONTROLBOX=.T.
MORE INFORMATION
This works with Visual FoxPro running under Windows 3.x, Windows NT, or Windows 95.
The Application Control menu in Windows 3.x and Windows NT is the large minus sign that appears in the top left of an application's window. It is at the end of the title bar for the application. It has commands for:
Restore
Move
Size
Minimize
Maximize
Close
Switch To
The Application Control menu in Windows 3.x and Windows NT can be accessed by clicking the mouse or plressing ALT+Spacebar.
In Windows 95, the Application Control menu is an icon, which for Visual FoxPro is a picture of the FoxPro fox. It has the same commands found in Windows 3.x except for Switch To. Disabling the Application Control menu in Visual FoxPro running under Windows 95 also disables the close box in the top right corner of the application's windows (the "x" box).
NOTE: Be sure to allow a way to quit FoxPro or bring back the Application Control menu.
