I'm running VFP 9 on Windows 7 which is running in a Win7 VM via VMWare Fusion on Mac OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard (on a MacBook Pro laptop). I have two monitors. The external monitor is the main monitor, with the notebook's monitor acting as the secondary. I have the main VFP window on the main monitor and I push the Command window and others (Properties, etc.) off to the secondary monitor. One thing that I'm seeing is odd behavior when changing - for instance - the ControlSource for a control. As soon as I change it, the mouse pointer jumps the the far right side of the secondary monitor. This happens when changing most, if not all, settings via the Properties window. So I'm constantly dragging the mouse back to the properties window. I'm wondering if this might have to do with the fact that VFP does so much drawing of windows off the main screen and then moves them into the screen (though I'm not sure if it really does this for its own windows). As I started this posting, I thought "I wonder what happens if I move the Properties window back to the main monitor." So I tried that and the problem did not occur. After making the change, the mouse pointer disappears, but it reappears as soon as I move the mouse (I don't see the disappearing pointer issue under WinXP on my other notebook - not a VM). So I'm unclear if this is a VFP issue, a Fusion issue, or a Win7 issue. You could help if you happen to be running VFP 9 on Win7 with two monitors and you can position the Properties window on the secondary monitor and see if you see this behavior. Or if you happen to have any ideas on what VFP settings might affect this (I may try BITMAPS=OFF, but I think that will slow me down a bit, so I'd like to avoid it). I can put the Properties window on the main screen, but that sort of defeats the purpose of having the two screens. Anyway, any suggestions would be appreciated.
