>I'm trying to get the combination of "Activate Window In Desktop" and "Hide Window Screen" to work properly in VFP5 -- That is, "work properly" as I think it should! My code activates the window on the desktop, then I issue a Hide Window Screen command.

>When I compile the .exe and run it, my window comes up without the VFP main screen, so far so good. But my window is white/blank, the text is missing. I initially thought the problem was that if I hide the VFP main screen, I need to specify a color scheme for my window. So I added the parameter COLOR SCHEME(n) and used different values in (n), the colors change just fine while modifying and running the .prg, but when I re-compile, no matter what scheme I've specified, the .exe still gives me a blank window. What am I missing here? :)

In Desktop means in the main FoxPro screen. Make your form a top level form.
