Hi Craig,

> basing the gradient off the theme picked in XP

Perhaps a topic for a future thread? I started to do some research on this topic and if I remember correctly, XP exposes some new sysmetric() properties that we can query for this information?

For non-XP users, supplying a sample colleciton of gradients to choose from might really make an application stand out. Gradient files are small, so including a collection of prebuilt gradients shouldn't add bulk to an application.

> there are a lot of problems that will need to be worked out, right now if you dock that toolbar it doesn't size the rect right and you just get a sliver of toolbar showing... but that is just a parameter adjustment... also there would need to be some handling in the after dock even in case the develoepr/user put the toolbar on left or right side of the screen.

My initial thought is to avoid using VFP's native docking behavior and build our own interface to this type of functionality? This way one could "fix" any of the functionality missing from VFP 9's dockable window framework.

You posted some great code on Tek-Tips that should address this need. I'm going to go back and review our thread on this topic.

Thanks again for all your help! :)
