 | Hi!
May be this is a very basic question. I tried several ways and I looked at
it on the reference books but I could not find a way of making the main
application menu disapear.
I know how to modify it: by using resources manager.
I know how to replace it by another one: by assigning a mnu file to a mdi
form.
However, I could not find a way of making it disapear.
This is a simple issue for the StatusBar and SpeedBar because they are
properties of the _app object, but what I can do to make the main menu
disapear.
Any help would be appreciated

Make sure your forms don't have anything in the MENU property ...

For SDI, yes, but in an MDI app there will still be a menu associated with the
frame window, and I think Paulo is talking about an MDI app.

Well, in that case, create a blank .mnu file and set that for the
application's menu ...? I am not sure why anyone would want an MDI
application without a menu.

| Well...!
The bar is blank but the space is still there.
The reason I wanted that, it is that I want to gain some space.
Imagine a simple application for touch-screen, etc...

If you want to save space, take a look at the shell() function ...

See sample below.
Roland
local f
shell (false, false) && hide dbase framewindow
f = new Form()
f.mdi = false
f.windowstate = 2 // maximized
f.pb = new pushbutton(f)
f.pb.onClick = {; form.close() ; shell(true, true)}
f.open()
return
