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:
1. In the Start-Up (Main) program of your project, add the following line of
code at the very beginning:
_SCREEN.Visible = .F.
2. Then, create a Config.fpw file, and add the following line:
SCREEN = OFF
3. Set the Form[ASCII 146]s ShowWindow property 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.
