Hello Mike,

>That was cool. The shadow didn't disappear after dragging. Now why does it vanish from within VFP (like the Find dialog does)?

Honestly, I have no idea why the shadow disappeared. I checked the class style for the Find dialog after it vanished, it still contains the shadow style! So, maybe there are some code that causing the shadow disappeared (design bugs ???), or perhaps there are other things. Well, I don't know <g>

>Also, I guess there is no way to have this shadow for all VFP forms (ie. not only top-level).

AFAIK, no. It only works for the top-level form. You can make the shadow yourself if you want. However, it needs more efforts, especially if you want the shadow to move along with the form when you drag it.
