It was only when I deleted THAT file and then re-lauched VFP (thus making yet another FOXUSER file) that the COMMAND window became visible again. I say this because I neglected to mention EARLIER that the FOXUSER file that I found had been created after opening VFP this morning at 9 am (although none was there the night before except the one placed automatically on an external backup drive) was NOT what solved the problem since the problem was still there even with that new FOXUSER file. It may be that a corrupt FOXUSER file was indeed the problem.
RE: Visual Foxpro 9 Command Window Disappeared Olaf Doschke (Programmer) 16 Apr 20 13:00 See thread184-1801815: VFP 9.0 confounding show stopper. I recently also wrote about such options and why you pick them instead of going for a reinstall. Then start the debugger window and there you can also execute commands by writing _vfp.docmd("your command") as a new watch expression into the watch window, ie _vfp.docmd("MOVE WINDOW 'COMMAND' TO 0,0") As Mike said the vfp9.exe /regsvr call will not help with that, but regedit, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualFoxPro\9.0\Desktop. Then CTRL+A and DEL will clear it and then type in MOVE WINDOW 'COMMAND' TO 0,0.Īlso, you can position the _screen within registry keys. Because after you toggled it visible focus will be there, at the least after you restart VFP. And so you can type in a command blindly. RE: Visual Foxpro 9 Command Window Disappeared Mike Lewis (Programmer) 16 Apr 20 07:53įortunately, CTRl+F2 does not toggle the window on/off, it lets the window appear, so you don't have to guess or be lucky for it to be available. I assumed maybe it did the desired work without informing me, so I tried again without the parameter, and yes it opened VFP9 but that did not fix the problem. It accepted the /REGSERVER parameter but nothing happened. So I opened Accessories and chose to get to the DOS prompt as an administrator. Which I tried, but was told I have to be an administrator. So I tried the REGSERVER method from there. I just remembered one can go to DOS via CMD at the run box. It was fixed by the command _SCREEN.Move(0,0,400,400)! That actually worked recently when, on another computer, the Main VFP9 window had started to not show up. I also can't find any Command Window object like there's a _SCREEN object where one could tell it to move back onto the screen. Or is it off the edge of the screen somehow? For years when I would open VFP9, the Command window would to often appear with only its title visible in the very bottom right hand corner, but even when I dock the task bar elsewhere, no Command window appears to have been hiding behind it. I'm getting old, so prone to forget things, but didn't it use to be possible to just type in the name of a program in that box to run it?

I've been told one way to fix it might be to run "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Foxpro 9\vfp9.exe /REGSERVER" from the text box that comes up when you click the 'Start' Windows icon at the left hand corner of the screen, but that seems not to work. And I no longer have the original DVD (or CD?) anyway. Maybe that's true if it was installed from a DVD on drive E back when this computer still had a DVD player, which it no longer does since I had to have it removed for there to be a slot for a second hard drive. And I've been unable to repair it via the option in the Control Panel since it tells me it cannot reach Drive E, where it claims it was installed from.
I've tried Ctrl-F2, which is supposed to turn it on/off, but no luck. After VFP 9 has been working for years on this Win 7 computer, now suddenly the Command Window has disappeared.
