>Something is forcing focus to the prop sheet for you, I have no idea what would do that. You could also test wontop() to see if it was "Properties" or do something like activate window "CLASS DESIGNER - CLONE.VCX (X1)" with a nowait clause on the create class. If you close the CD with the prop sheet off it shouldn't start the next time with it visible.

My property sheet comes up having the focus. However, you are correct that once the property sheet is closed it remains closed the next time you bring up the CD. Thanks to you and John K., I do have a workable solution.


CREATE CLASS...NOWAIT
ACTIVATE WINDOW "Class Designer"
KEYBOARD...
