SUMMARY
In Visual FoxPro 3.0, you can hide the Visual FoxPro desktop in your run- time application by setting the position of the desktop off the screen, for example:
_SCREEN.Width = -1000
_SCREEN.Top = -1000
However, in Visual FoxPro 5.0, you no longer have to do it this way.
MORE INFORMATION
In Visual FoxPro 5.0, you can easily hide the Visual FoxPro desktop in your run-time application by using the following steps:
In the Start-Up (Main) program of your project, add the following line of code at the very beginning:
_SCREEN.Visible = .F.Then, create a Config.fpw file, and add the following line:
SCREEN = OFF- Set the ShowWindow property of the Form to 2- As Top Level Form.
NOTE: If you do not plan to distribute the Config.fpw as a separate file, the Config.fpw can be included in the project as [Other][Text Files] or [Other][Other Files], and build it as part of the .exe file.
