Hi all
When I start VFP the properties window opens and shows properties for the desktop. At this point the properties window is dockable. I change it to not dockable and close it. I open a form class in the class designer and the properties window for the class opens and is non-dockable. So far so good. I close the class designer and the properties window closes. This is exactly what I want.
I quit VFP. I start VFP and, guess what, the properties window opens dockable and shows properties for the desktop. This is NOT what I want. Any suggestions as to how I can prevent the properties window from opening when VFP starts.
Thanks
Paul Newton
Try:
Top menu in VFP
Window menu, select 'Properties Window'.
This displays the properties window for the Screen.
Right-click on the properties window, un-tick 'Show Desktop Properties'.
Thanks Alan - tried that and it made no difference

Don't all those prefs live in foxuser? What's your setting for SET RESOURCE?

No config.fpw turning it off at some point?
I'm pretty sure that the behavior you're seeing is the default for the properties window with a clean install. IOW no resource data. Gotta pay attention to my day job but if I think of anything else I'll chime in again.
