VisualFox 9

I made an plication and I set all the windows with top level show and _sreeen.visible=.f. but when I start the application the main window is in the front an it is not activ. I have to click on it to activate it or if there is a nother application runing like explorer or other my window is minimizetr or in the bootm of the windows and it is not activ. If I activate it and I call a nother window with do form .... a form that is set with top level show the same think is happening. What can I do

I've seen the same problem discussed before on a different forum. I didn't have the problem myself, but I can search the related discussions on another forum.

From suggestion on another forum I got:

Put Application.Visible = .t. in the Activate method of the form.

See, if this gives you the desired effect.

If you are using a main program who is doing a main form (with READ EVENTS), at form you may check properties:

WindowsType = Modal

ShowWindow = As Top-Level form

Autocenter = .T. (for test only)

hi
yes, I've seen this too, but never tried to fix it up!
I don't know about internal vfp methods, but in the worst case you can use APIs to activate your form.

just tell me if you need api code on this.

Dear dni,
when you specify the "READ EVENTS", it's not necessary to set Windowtype to modal
