I have always had a main program that consists of:
set talk off
set deleted on
set bell off
set sysmenu off
set multilocks on
set exclusive off
on shutdown quit
clear
_screen.windowstate=2
_screen.caption="My App, Copyright 2001 West Pointe Enterprises"
_screen.backcolor=rgb(58,110,165)
_screen.minbutton=.F.
_screen.maxbutton=.F.
do form mbappform
read events
Should the READ EVENTS be the last item? I guess I don't understand fully what READ EVENTS does. I know it starts "event processing" which I believe is the "processing" of commands, buttons, code, etc.
With it AFTER the form I want run... wouldn't that technically not run the code on a form because the READ EVENTS fires AFTER the form? I know this works, but I don't understand why.
Is this NORMALLY what is in the main program for an app? What about if I want to do some file manipulation PRIOR to the MBAPPFORM running... I shouldn't put that in here only in the FORM such as in the LOAD or INIT section?
Thanks ahead of time for all the great help here!!
