how to start the white visual foxpro screen from showing 1

[bebbo]

Although I have _SCREEN.VISIBLE = .F. in the first line of my main program the white foxpro screen appears for a split second when starting the program. Can i stop this from showing?

create a pain text file called config.fpw . Either put it in the direcetory your exe is in or build it into your exe.

In that file put the line

screen=off

A question?

Can I build a type of c_screen memos similiar to my c_language.memos and put in the different colors and variety of pictures in the memos so that the user could pick and select any one to run always where the white foxpro _screen is.

How would one activate or control which color or picture would be present on the foxpro_screen?

Any help?

HI johnjames,

_Screen.Picture = myPictureFile && with path & extension
_screen.BackColor = myBackColorWanted && RGB(255,128,128)
SO myPictureFile or myBackColorWanted can be taken from your database table.

However, I would not do so. Instead, I will always store the picture files in a specific directory and allow user to choose it from the GETPICT() or similar function... example..
_screen.Picture=GETPICT("jpg&quot
_screen.Picture=GETPICT("bmp&quot
_screen.Picture=GETPICT()

same way..
_screen.backColor=GETCOLOR()

Hope this helps yuou ramani :-9

Thanks Ramani on the white foxpro_screen change...

I have a seperate clanguage table and change words on the fly... I see I can change the color or the form's picture on the fly too, not? So I have to build a seperate table for colors and .jpg or .bmp pictures. That could be controled with a combo box in the window-pad menu at the top.
Thank you...johnjames

Here is what I got out of the password search on encrypting the password...

To avoid readable data, I do the fllowing...
The data is accepted and stored in a different way.
Let us say.. the myPassWord is "ABCD1234". Then the data stored is converted by using SYS(2007,myPassWord)
Whenever the data is accepted, I convert it using the same function and then compare that value against
the stored one. I never allow the password to be edited again... except that it can be replaced with
a new password. Because of this, no one can read it or use it by reading.
