>>>Hi All
>>>
>>>I have a form class that has ShowWindow = 0 - In screen. If I create an instance of it then I cannot drag this form outside the boundaries of the VFP application screen as expected and desired. If I set Dockable property to a non-zero value then I can drag the form outside of the VFP application screen. Not expected or desired as a user can drag the form off the top, bottom, left, or right of the Windows desktop completely :) I think this is perhaps a bug.

<g> Yep.

We get calls all the time from users who've "lost" their task bar/start menu -- they've accidentally resized it to a height of 0.

But take away the "freedom" and they'll whine too. ;-)
