You need to _SCREEN.VISIBLE = .F. after the SHOW.

PUBLIC oForm1
oForm1 = CREAT([oForm])
oForm1.SHOW
_SCREEN.VISIBLE = .F.

DEFINE CLASS oForm AS FORM
	SHOWWINDOW = 2
ENDDEFINE

>>Hi Doug,

>>Seems like I remember having a similar problem. However, it seems like the problem never existed when running the compiled exe file (it only appeared when running from within development mode.) Do any of your apps still not have the focus when ran as an exe rather than from the VFP environment?

>>>Hi Folks,

>>>Say, when I create a simple project with a launching PRG calling a Top Level form after the form launches it appears to not have focus.
>>>
>>>That is, the top bar is grey as opposed to the blue I normally see when an object has Windows focus.
>>>
>>>I have a _screen.visible = .f. in the PRG as well.
>>>
>>>I'm trying to see if this is a bug or what might be required to make the form have focus when launched from a shortcut.
>>>
>>>I've dug around a bit looking for a mention of this and can't find any FAQ or anything on it.
