How do I hide the Visual Foxpro menu

[castor2003]

I have compiled an exe for my project which should start from a .prg which launches my login.scx. I keep getting the Visual Foxpro menu coming up first. I launch my own menu when the user gets authenticated.


a Hand can help alot...Thanks in advance you good people.

If your login.scx form is created as a Top-Level form, then start your application with SCREEN=OFF in the CONFIG.FPW and just to make sure, have a line in the .PRG file do _VFP.visible = .F.

Rick,

I tried what you suggested but I still get a flash of a white screen before my Login.scx kicks in.

Castor,

Try putting SCREEN=OFF in your Config.FPW. After you close the login form, executer _SCREEN.Visible = .T.

Mike,
Screen off is in the CONFIG.FPW file. The first line in my SETMAIN.prg is _vfp.visible=.f., the login.scx is set AS TOP LEVEL and WindowsType is Modal. Yet I get a flash of the VFP screen (I guess) before my login.scx kicks in.

Castor,
Are you seeing this "flash" in the runtime with a .EXE? If you can, it's a good idea to actually include the CONFIG.FPW in the Project (either in Text Files or Other Files will work) and rebuild.

Castor,

That's odd. The commands in the Config execute before the VFP window loads, so you should never see anything other than your top-level form. For some reason, the Config isn't executing. Is it possible that you are picking up the wrong Config?

The CONFIG.FPW file is in the same directory as the .EXE file.

and it has SCREEN = OFF

Gentlemen,

My sincere apologies

I had a config file which was badly named. It was not obvious looking at the Explorer folder. It was actually named. CONFIG.FPW.FPW and not CONFIG.FPW.


Thanks for all the help.

Castor,

No need to apologise. It is all part of the learning process (for us all).
