Just one comment on this one, if you use the Beautify Tool, it will screw up the declaration of ShowWindow, you have to use an undocumented Beautify directive (VFP9 only):

*#beautify keyword_nochange
DECLARE INTEGER ShowWindow IN user32 AS ShowWindowAPI ;
	INTEGER HWND,;
	INTEGER nCmdShow
*#beautify

I also declare ShowWindow as ShowWindowAPI to avoid confusion with the native ShowWindow property.
