Maximize MAIN FORM at STARTUP

[Gert]

Hi to all
I've been trying to MAXIMIZE my appl. Main FORM when the app. start so I add this code to the CONFIG.FPW file:

TITLE = M O V I E C E N T E R
SYSMENU = ON
With _Screen
.WindowState = 2
.Caption = ""
.Closable = .F.
.ControlBox = .F.
.MaxButton = .F.
.Movable = .F.
ENDWITH

and it works fine in some computer and not in another.
it is maybe the screen resolution, but I realy don't know how to fix it. I would like my app MAINFORM always be Maximize.

Any help On this one will be apreciate.

YOU HAVE TO PUT THE CODE IN THE MAIN PRG AT START UP LEVEL..
_screen.windowstate = 2

In case you are having a form at start up, you can put in the init event of the form..
This.WindowState = 2

Yuor code is not working in some computer, because the config.fpw is not available to those stations, which do not maximise...or else, those stations have a different config.fpw elsewhere in the search path earlier to what you have defined...

Hi Tolly,
You could have started a new thread.
In your main.prg.. after the DO FORM myForm .. whatever..
Add the line..
READ EVENTS

This will make your application visible. Then you can decide.. what more you want.

Hi Ramani
Perhaps a little further explanation would be useful.
When I start VFP7 from the Start Menu only the Command Window appears, no panels, no toolbars just the Command Window superimposed upon the Windows 98 Desktop and thats as far as I get. When I enter various legitimate commands, nothing happens except that I occasionally get an error message.
On startup I would expect to see a VP7 Toolbar somewhere but no such luck
Thanks for your suggestion but I haven't got anything to work on yet, no forms, no applications just a frustrated developer knocking at the door but nobody is home.

HI
Locate FoxUser.DBF and FoxUser.FPT in your VFP7 directory and delete these two files. Then restart VFP7. YOu should get the things you want. If this did not solve your problem.. assuming you have not done anything.. I suggest you reinstall VFP7 again.

Hope this solves your problem.
