Hi Claudio,
I don't have any recommendations, only an observation to offer :)
I see that you're using VFP9 SP1 under Windows XP (Pro?). Check this out. Open a form method and do a find (Ctrl+F). If your setup is the same as mine, the find dialog has a cool shadow under it. Now drag this dialog around. As expected, the shadow follows it around. Now stop dragging it. Guess what? No more shadow. Go figure.
Not that it helps you any, but it would be cool if we could use this capability in our VFP apps (and not lose the shadow at the end of a drag operation).
Mike
