   ThisForm.Visible=.T.
				

MORE INFORMATION

When an application compiled with Visual FoxPro version 5.0 is running as a minimized background process and a REPORT FORM command is encountered, the application's window is restored from its minimized state and displayed on screen. After the REPORT FORM command has finished executing, the application's window is minimized and the application continues executing as a background process.

Applications compiled with Visual FoxPro version 3.0 that are running as a minimized background process remain minimized when a REPORT FORM command is encountered.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Using Visual FoxPro version 5.0, create a new project called Prtsrv.
2. Click Data, Databases and add the Testdata database from the VFP\Samples\Data folder.
3. Click Documents, Reports and create a new quick report using the Customer table of the Testdata database. Save the report as Prtsrv.
4. Click Code, Programs and create a new program file named Prtsrv with the following code:

         PUBLIC rollcounter
         rollcounter=0
         DO FORM prtsrv
         READ EVENTS
   
         _SCREEN.WINDOWSTATE=2
         _SCREEN.VISIBLE=.T.
         _SCREEN.SHOW
         ZOOM WINDOW SCREEN MAX

5. Set Prtsrv.prg as the main program file.
6. Click Documents, Forms and create a new form called Prtsrv with the following properties:

         AutoCenter = .T.
         Height     = 130
         ShowWindow = 2
         Width      = 192

7. In the form's Activate event, add the following code:

         _SCREEN.WINDOWSTATE=1
         _SCREEN.VISIBLE=.f.
         HIDE WINDOW SCREEN
         thiswin=WONTOP()
         ZOOM WINDOW &thiswin MIN

8. Add a Timer control to the form with the following properties:

         Interval=3000

9. Add the following code to the Timer Event method of the timer object:

         rollcounter=rollcounter+1
         REPORT FORM prtsrv FOR RECNO()  < 5 TO PRINT NOCONSOLE NOWAIT
         IF rollcounter=3
         ThisForm.Command1.Click
         ENDIF

10. Add a command button to the form with the following code in the Click event of the command button:

          RELEASE THISFORM
          CLEAR EVENTS

11. From the Project Manager, build an executable file. Open Windows Explorer and double-click the executable file. At 30 second intervals, the Prtsrv form is restored and visible on screen.
