Hi Evan,

We move to Midlothian this past July. We actually are closer to Waxahachie and are 3 miles west of where I35E and Highway 287 cross. The house is on a 58 acre "lot" with pond, 2 creeks, various wildlife, etc. :)

Anyway, under the VFP menu View, Toolbars, I click on the New button to create a new toolbar. I drop the cut, copy, paste, undo, redo buttons on it ans give it a name. VFP stores this in the foxuser table. When I provide that record in a foxuser table for my app, VFP runtime will actually use it but only withnin the confines of the VFP screen. I was hoping to get it to show in the TLF so I do not have to code a toolbar class to manage the functionality of those buttons.

The ShowWindow property of the toolbar *must* be set to 1 (In Top-Level Form) for this approach to work. The "gotcha" that I found is you *cannot* use the oForm.AddProperty() method and then create the toolbar -- you must create the toolbar object and then use the ADDPROPERTY() function instead.

>>I have an app that uses a top level form. I also created a custom toolbar with the cut, copy, paste, undo and redo system buttons on it that I have stored in a foxuser resource file. How can I get this toolbar to appear in the TLF? If I toggle the _screen.visible to .T., I can see the toolbar in the _screen but can not get it into the TLF. TIA!
