Foxpro screen

[vdeveloper]

Hi all

When executing standalone apps, They open in 640 x 480 screen size and then expand to 800 x 600 size. is there any way to avoid this and open directly in 800 x 600 size ? This causes a flicker that I would want to do away with.

Thanks

Try
_screen.windowstate = 2

In your main program.

If you are using icons on the desktop to start them, specify in the icon itself to open the app maximize.

Ravi,

Mike Gagnon's suggestion of using _SCREEN.WidowState = 2 should work. I do it in every app I write.

However, if by any chance you have _SCREEN.Visible = .f. in your startup routine, or SCREEN = OFF in your config file, you will need to execute _SCREEN.WidowState = 2 after you have made the screen visible.
