Alan, I think the problem is that:

1) If you click this "Show Desktop" button (or use right-click version) it minimizes all running apps, including your VFP app. So far so good.

2) If you click it again (or right-click version) it restores all apps back to where they were. ie. its a toggle switch. Also no problem.

3) If you click the minimized VFP app and choose restore it also restores without problem.

4) BUT, if the VFP app tries to restore itself (ie un-minimize itself) then it does not do it properly. This is what Bela means by "...to restore the form to its original size and position programatically"

My (ZAR 2c / 7.4) US cents worth :)


>Ah, thanks Jos. I knew about right clicking to get the menu item, but I wonder how the button went missing in the first place? Anyway, to be honest, I really don't want it back. The less real-estate taken up by Windows with buttons I don't need, the more for me.

>What I didn't understand from the other post was the implication that after clicking 'Show desktop', the test form was then minimized manually. Likely I just misunderstood what he said.
