VFP objects are not real Windows controls with handles. They are bitmapped representations. So you just have to keep the two separated in your mind that they work differently from each other as a group. The ZORDER for Windows objects will respect all other Windows objects, and the ZORDER for VFP objects will respect all the VFP objects. They just don't see each other.
