John,

Thanks for the reply.

Could you explain the advantage of using bitmap representations as VFP controls over windowed controls?

How and why was this decided?

Were there technical challenges for using windowed controls?

Is it possible to have a property named "Caret" or whatever for a text box or a edit box so one can change the image of a blinking caret?

Is this event handling model the reason for "_vfp.AutoYield"?
