Given the proclivity of VFP's editor to not behave like a normal Windows form, I suspect you can't do it... What I refer to is the lack of caption highlighting when the Edit 'form' is reselected, and the misbehavior in the 'look for' text box, which although the text cursor sits and blinks refuses to acknowledge keystrokes until the mouse additionally selects the text box. I think some of the Windows 'forms' inside VFP are not really what they appear, but are programmatic illusions, thus their poor windows behavior.
