problem while minimizing vfp window

[adcounsel1]

Dear All

when i minimize vfp program window, i am unable to restore/maximize the vfp program window. Also sometime it happen that Esc key dont work. I have test this on all o/s i.e. win98, win200opro, xp but problem remain the same.

Also if i dont minimize vfp program windows, it works fine.

Thanks

SET ESCAPE OFF in the program will disable the escape key.

As for the resize problem, do the forms have maximise and restore buttons? If they have the buttons and the forms won't resize then there may be some code in the Resize event that's failing.

Are you by chance messing with the MinHeight or MinWidth settings somewhere?
Try testing these settings in a timer and see if it changes:
Thisform.WindowState(0)
Thisform.WindowState(1)
Thisform.WindowState(2)

I normally dont use frames, i am useto design screen in code, it gave me somehow better control:

DEFINE WINDOW bigwind ;
AT 0, 0.000 ;
SIZE 29,80 ;
TITLE client_hd + " - " + sys_name ;
FONT "ms sans serif", 10 ;
MINI ;
STYLE "B" IN desktop ICON FILE PLANE

it works fine untill or unless, i dont minimize but when i do, it misbehave, sometime start blinking in task bar, but dont maximize or sometime maximize and screen is white and program is working in background.

What will be the reason, Thanks

Hashim,
I believe you need to add either ZOOM or SYSTEM to this Window definition to prevent this situation. Essentially you've created to allow Mini(mize), but not to restore or maximize.

adcounsel1,

To avoid the blinking and see the reason for it, please read the FAQ I posted for you above.

As to the screen being white while your app is processing code, this is caused by the form not repainting. This can happen when heavy processing is happening as the form is not able to get to it's message queue and receive the repaint messages it needs. Try adding a few well placed DOEVENTS calls in your code and see if that improves the overall responsiveness of the form repainting. In the end there is no way to completely avoid this, but it can be greatly improved.
