I am beginner in using Visual FoxPro. I am trying to create a simple application which contains a form with a few textboxes. The problem is that the application window does not appear when I run the executable file which I build.
The code for the program is:
PROCEDURE main_app
_SCREEN.Activate
_SCREEN.WindowState = 2
_SCREEN.backcolor = RGB(128, 128, ;
128)
_SCREEN.Caption = ""
_SCREEN.refresh()
SET TALK OFF
SET DELETED ON
SET EXCLUSIVE OFF
CLEAR ALL
CLEAR
CLOSE ALL
DO FORM simpleform LINKED
READ EVENTS
RETURN
*MESSAGEBOX('Msg')
ENDPROC
In the form I have a few textboxes and a button. When the button is clicked then some code is executed. If I run the application from the IDE everything works fine but if I create the executable this does not display any window, still the process appears in the task manager. If I uncomment the MessageBox then this will appear even if I run the exe file. I don't know a way to trace the problem outside the IDE, maybe there is still a library needed that I am not aware. I am using Visual FoxPro 9.0
Would someone be able to help me out?
If you can provide me with a link to a very simple application exe which uses just one form and finishes when the form is closed I would very much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
The problem was that I did not set the screen visibility to true.
