hide screen with starting exe

[SYN]

Hi,

I've got a small executable in vfp6 to look for an adress in the register. It produces just a messagebox 'found' or 'not found'. During this programm the (empty) main vfp screen is showed in the desktop.
I can't the use SCREEN=OFF in the config.fpw because of other applications.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

This is better, but it's still flashing in the desktop. When using the config.fpw you don't see anything from the main screen.

Unless you require more in your CONFIG.FPW, then just create one with only the SCREEN=OFF line, and include it in your Project - Other, Text Files is good. Now only this application will use it, and the "flashing" will be eliminated.

The alternative would be to include SCREEN=OFF in your shared CONFIG.FPW, and just make sure that all the other applications have _SCREEN.Visible = .T., right near the beginning of each "main" .PRG.
