MORE INFORMATION

In Visual FoxPro 5.0, you can easily hide the Visual FoxPro desktop in your run-time application by using the following steps:

1. In the Start-Up (Main) program of your project, add the following line of code at the very beginning:

         _SCREEN.Visible = .F.
   							

2. Then, create a Config.fpw file, and add the following line:

         SCREEN = OFF
   							

3. Set the ShowWindow property of the Form to 2- As Top Level Form.

NOTE: If you do not plan to distribute the Config.fpw as a separate file, the Config.fpw can be included in the project as [Other][Text Files] or [Other][Other Files], and build it as part of the .exe file.
