>>>>I used thisform.point to return pixel at 50,50 on a form that is 100,100. If I place a window from a different program over the vfp form covering the pixel at 50,50.... thisform.point returns -1 as if the pixel at 50,50 is no longer there. Is there any way to change this behavior?

I ran it and I knew what you meant. My point was that I want a pixel color of the vfp form and not something that is stacked over it.
