Thanks Jack,
I had a less-then-good solution for report previews from top level forms
that your solution helps with. I was up to the part where only by
minimizing the report preview could I see the report controls toolbar,
but I wasn't happy with that. With your solution, the toolbar is visible
with the form maximized, and that's much better.
I did try to come up with a way to move the toolbar around, but don't
see how to do it.
I made two changes I thought I'd pass on:
1. Issuing the KEYBOARD '{CTRL+F10}' PLAIN command repeated behaves like
a toggle, with report contents visible the first time, then minimized
the 2nd time, etc. So, in the report_preview form's init, I've added a
control to issue the command just once per session.
IF [session property]
KEYBOARD '{CTRL+F10}' PLAIN && will make sure the form is
maximized...
STORE .t. TO [session property] && only run this 1x
ENDIF
This may not be a complete solution, but it solved the 'toggling effect'
I noticed when repeating the same test report several times.
2. After issuing the REPORT FORM ... Command, I added:
release windows frmpreview
To get rid of the preview form.
