How to test without Windows Themes
In VFP, there are a bunch of ways to turn off XP Themes. One of them is to select the EXE’s Properties in Windows Explorer and turn them off there. A while back, I needed to write a test that would verify this actually worked, but I didn’t want to figure out how to click that option in Explorer. After searching MSDN, I came up with the following.
*!* We can turn Disable Visual Themes on with a batch *!* file: we don't need to set the property in Windows *!* Explorer. TEXT TO lcBat NOSHOW set __COMPAT_LAYER=DisableThemes ThemeForm.exe ENDTEXT STRTOFILE(lcBat, "ThemeForm.bat") *!* Run the program RUN /n ThemeForm.bat
