    You can try to hide the default content pane with Windows API calls.

    Place youre code in

    infolog.startuppost()

    Hello,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have already tried that but its not working.

    I have a var layer License code. Does doing this requires some specific layer code?

    Kindly reply.

    The VAR-Runtime enables to execute code written in VAR-Layer. But CUS- and USR-Layer is always used. What layer did you place your code?

    I have already tried that but its not working.

    Can you give me the code of your startuppost()?

    Regards

    i wrote the content pane hide code in AOT/classes/info/startuppost  method but no use.

    Hide content pane code i used:-

        #WinApi

       HWND contentPane = WinApi::findWindowEx(WinAPI::findWindowEx(infolog.hWnd(), 0, 'MDIClient', ''),0,'ContentFrame','' );

       ;

    WinApi::ShowWindow(contentPane,#SW_HIDE);

    and I wish to open my custom form in place of the content pane.

    I placed the code on the VAR layer.

    Kindly guide.

    Regards.

    Your code works fine in a job. But it seems another process after startupPost() is showing the pane again. Therefore I have delayed the hide process:


    void hideContentPane()
    {
        #WinApi
        HWND    contentPane = WinApi::findWindowEx(WinAPI::findWindowEx(infolog.hWnd(), 0, 'MDIClient', ''),0,'ContentFrame','' );
        Args    args = new Args(formstr(CustTable));
        FormRun fr;

        ;
        fr = classFactory.formRunClass(args); // consider to use a menuItem instead - this is just a demo
        fr.init();
        fr.run();

        WinApi::ShowWindow(contentPane,#SW_HIDE);

        fr.wait();


    }

    void startupPost()
    {
        ;
        if (curuserid() == "krpa")
        {
            this.setTimeOut(methodstr(Info, hideContentPane), 500);
        }
    }

    This works so far (even it's not very neat). You can try to find another place instead of startuppost() - but I don't know such place. Another approach could be to hide the pane in the run() or init() of your new "startform".
