I have a VFP9 form that collects data from several souces and needs to pass some of the data to a DOS program. I've successfully used the routine listed in this month's FoxPro Advisor to pass the data via key strokes to the external Windows/DOS application.

What I'd like to do now, is to embedded (or lock) the DOS Window application into the VFP window so that the DOS window is always visible when the VFP9 window is visible. Does anyone know if that is possible? Is there any API function that might help here?

If I can't do this, is there anyway to completely hide the DOS window and still have API access to it and continue to push data (key strokes) to the program?

Thanks,
Robert Wright
