Report Control Toolbar during runtime

UPDATE: This code works each the second time...

PROCEDURE RptDesignMode(tcReportFileName)
LOCAL loform as Form 

loform=CREATEOBJECT("RptDesginForm")
WAIT CLEAR 

WITH loform as Form 
	.Show()
	
	ACTIVATE WINDOW "Report Controls"
	SHOW WINDOW "Report Controls" IN WINDOW (loForm.Name)
	MODIFY REPORT (tcReportFileName) IN WINDOW (loForm.Name)

	.Release
ENDWITH 
ENDPROC 

DEFINE CLASS RptDesginForm as Form
	Desktop=.t.
	Width=SYSMETRIC(1)
	Height=sysmetric(2)

ENDDEFINE 

Select allOpen in new window

And this code should work a little bit better...

PROCEDURE RptDesignMode(tcReportFileName)
LOCAL loform as Form 

loform=CREATEOBJECT("RptDesginForm")
WAIT CLEAR 

WITH loform as Form 
	.Show()
	
	IF WEXIST("Report Controls")
		IF WVISIBLE("Report Controls")
			HIDE WINDOW "Report Controls"
		ENDIF
		SHOW WINDOW "Report Controls" IN WINDOW (loForm.Name)
	ENDIF
	
	MODIFY REPORT (tcReportFileName) IN WINDOW (loForm.Name)
	
	IF WEXIST("Report Controls")
		SHOW WINDOW "Report Controls" IN SCREEN
	ENDIF
	
	.Release
ENDWITH 

IF WEXIST("Report Controls")
	HIDE WINDOW "Report Controls"
ENDIF

ENDPROC 

DEFINE CLASS RptDesginForm as Form
	Desktop=.t.
	Width=SYSMETRIC(1)
	Height=sysmetric(2)

ENDDEFINE 

Select allOpen in new window

Nope, it is not working , report control window is not exist
and as a result it does not satisfy WEXIST("Report Controls") to true.

That window is only active when Modify report command in used

I dont know how to solve .

Yes, my code works fine in VFP IDE but you probably need Run-time functionality... which is not so easy.

Do you need to display the Report designer in a separate window? Why don't you accept VFP screen which allows to display the Toolbar?

Excellent pcelba.

many thanks

Just a note: there are two MODIFY REPORT commands by mistake:

      MODIFY REPORT (tcReportFileName) IN WINDOW (loForm.Name) NOWAIT
      MODIFY REPORT (tcReportFileName) IN WINDOW (loForm.Name)

You may remove the first one.
