DOCUMENT:Q135565 15-FEB-2000 [foxpro] TITLE :PRB: HIDE WINDOW ALL Command Affects User-Defined Toolbars PRODUCT :Microsoft FoxPro PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== The HIDE WINDOW ALL command hides user-defined toolbars as well as other windows. The SHOW WINDOW ALL command shows user-defined toolbars as well as other windows. System-defined toolbars are not affected by HIDE WINDOW ALL or SHOW WINDOW ALL. WORKAROUND ========== Once the user's toolbars have been hidden with the HIDE WINDOWS ALL command, if they are to be visible, issue a command to SHOW WINDOW where window name is the name of one of the toolbars. Issue as many SHOW WINDOW commands as are necessary to restore the user-created toolbars. STATUS ====== This behavior is by design. MORE INFORMATION ================ Developers using the command HIDE WINDOW ALL and expecting their toolbars to stay visible may run into trouble. The toolbars are essentially the same as any user-defined window and are thus subject to being hidden. The System toolbars, on the other hand, are a special instance and as such remain visible unless a HIDE WINDOW command is used with the name of the window For a list of the correct names of the System toolbars, please see the Visual FoxPro Language Reference or the SHOW WINDOW topic in the Help manu. Steps to Reproduce Behavior --------------------------- Enter the following code into a Visual FoxPro program. Then run that program to create a toolbar on the desktop. *** Program Tooltest.prg ************** PUBLIC oToolbar oToolbar = CREATEOBJECT("UDToolbar") oToolbar.show() DEFINE CLASS UDToolbar AS Toolbar Caption = "My Toolbar" Height = 29 Left = 0 Top = 0 Width = 80 ADD OBJECT Cbsave AS Commandbutton WITH ; Top = 4, ; Left = 6, ; Height = 23, ; Width = 24, ; Picture = "\vfp\wizards\wizbmps\wzsave.bmp", ; Caption = "", ; Default = .F., ; Name = "CbSave" ADD OBJECT Cbdelete AS Commandbutton WITH ; Top = 4, ; Left = 29, ; Height = 23, ; Width = 24, ; Picture = "\vfp\wizards\wizbmps\wzdelete.bmp", ; Caption = "", ; Default = .F., ; Name = "CbDelete" ADD OBJECT Cbprint AS Commandbutton WITH ; Top = 4, ; Left = 52, ; Height = 23, ; Width = 24, ; Picture = "\vfp\wizards\wizbmps\wzprint.bmp", ; Caption = "", ; Default = .F., ; Name = "CbPrint" ENDDEFINE *** End program Tooltest.prg******************** Once the toolbar is visible, in the Command window enter this command: HIDE WINDOW ALL followed by SHOW WINDOW ALL Additional query words: 3.00 VFoxWin ====================================================================== Keywords : Technology : kbVFPsearch kbAudDeveloper kbVFP300 Version : WINDOWS:3.0 ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
