I was curious if the same thing could be done to the Command window so I took Tracy's code and replaced "MyProjectWindow" with "MyCommandWindow" and "Project Manager" with "Command". It did not seem to work as I wanted. Is the command window referenced by something other than "Command" or is it just a special window so it can't be manipulated the same way the "Project Manager" window can?

It's fun to find a keyword that is in the product for backward compatibility that actually does something useful.

If you are still using the Project Manager and are on a High DPI screen. When you move the window around it is not a very pleasant experience.
This code will put the window in an outer window that does not have the border issue.
DEFINE WINDOW MyProjectWIndow ; FROM 0,0 ; TO WROWS("Project Manager"),WCOLS("Project Manager") ; CLOSE FLOAT GROW ZOOM MINIMIZE NOMDI ; TITLE "Project Manager" ; FONT WFONT(1,"Project Manager"), WFONT(2, "Project Manager") SHOW WINDOW MyProjectWindow ACTIVATE WINDOW "Project Manager" IN MyProjectWindow MOVE WINDOW "Project Manager" TO 0,0And if you want the Project Manager to live outside the VFP window, and
be
available in the Windows Task Bar change the SHOW WINDOW command to this.
SHOW WINDOW MyProjectWindow IN macdesktopIf you do not need it in the Windows Task Bar, you could change the
DEFINE
WINDOW line to include this.
IN DESKTOPThe project manager needs to be open before you run this. You could add a this before it.
MODIFY PROJECT 'TheAwesomeProject' NOWAITDo you sometimes maximize windows you don't mean to? Change ZOOM to
NOZOOM.
Works in VFP 9 and VFP Advanced.
OR
You could use Doug Hennig's Project Explorer https://github.com/DougHennig/ProjectExplorer
Happy Coding! Tracy
