Microsoft Visual FoxPro 3.0b for Macintosh

This article was previously published under Q151798

SUMMARY

To suppress the main Visual FoxPro screen in the development environment, or the logo, product registration information, and sign-on screen in an executable application, add the following command to the configuration file:

   MACSCREEN = OFF

MORE INFORMATION

The MACSCREEN command for the configuration file is new to Visual FoxPro. This command, along with the TITLE command, allows developers to have more control over how their run-time applications appear when loading.

A sample configuration file using these two command follows:

   ***Sample Config.fpm***
   MACSCREEN = OFF
   TITLE = My Exe File
   DEFAULT = "Macintosh HD:My Exe File"
   KEYCOMP = Mac
