Did you tryed to lock whole windows update?
I saw this code here in UT. Unfortunately I can't remember who posted it, I just remember the function:

   IF THIS.oFiler.Item[m.j].Path+THIS.oFiler.Item[m.j].Name = ;
      THIS.lstFiles.List(m.i) AND FILE(THIS.lstFiles.List(m.i))
      THIS.oFiler.Item[m.j].Edit  && I want this window maximized automatically
      DECLARE INTEGER LockWindowUpdate IN Win32API INTEGER nHandle 
      LockWindowUpdate(_VFP.hWnd)
      ZOOM WINDOW (WONTOP()) MAX
      LockWindowUpdate(0)
      CLEAR DLLS LockWindowUpdate
   ENDIF

>Have you tried this in the editfile method of filer.scx? It works, but there is an aggravating screen flash while the first smaller window appears and then a flicker when it zooms to max. Since I only use this myself inhouse, not a big deal, but getting rid of the flicker and flash would be nice. I am running this hundreds of times a day while I make program modifications. For quick locating of text in prgs (and reviewing the prg and editing if necessary) I prefer this to code reference. I tried using lockscreen before and after the .edit and zoom lines to no avail.
