The client wants all their applications re-written (Y2K solution)in Visual 5.0 but...they have to look the same as the old apps. In order to accomplish the 'look and feel' of DOS I have to hide the main FoxPro Window so that the titlebar does not show. I can do this pretty easily with:

application.visible = .F. in the init and
application.visible = .T. in the destroy if....I am using a screen
as a top level form
in leiu of a menu.

This is not the case, however.
the above solution hides the application completely...as you would expect.

I could also hide any and all traces of the window borders within the
individual screens to hide the windowing of the screens....

Any idea how is this done, if it can be done?

several other solutions are possible but I'm kicking this one around for now....any ideas? (Plus I'm kinda interested in seeing how this could be done)

TIA

Brad
