how to activate the calendar in the top level form?

[foxwizard]

Hi,

How can i activate the calendar in the top level form while the main foxpro window screen's visible property has been set to false? Using visual foxpro v6.0.

Thanks ....

danceman,

I'm referring to the command 'activate window calendar'.

I don't think you'll be able to activate the calendar in a top level form. It seems to only show up on foxpro's screen object.

Better to use a calendar control.

Also, even though the calendar is still available I wouldn't base code on it. It's too quirky.

If you really need to use it, control the look of the screen object and just activate it there.(ie. _screen;top,left,titlebar, menus, etc.)

Foxwizard, is it possible with the correct syntax ;-)

PUBLIC oDiary
oDiary= CREATEOBJECT("Diary")
oPrint.SHOW()
ACTIVATE WINDOW calendar IN WINDOW "Diary"
DEFINE CLASS Diary as Form
 titlebar = 0
 Showwindow = 2 &&Top level
 name = "Diary"
 height = 300
 width = 500
ENDDEFINE
