>I think ActiveBar - a third party control - works fine in VFP. I do agree however, that ActiveX controls that ship with VS - should work in VFP. But, there are alternatives.
John,

FWIW, VFP 5&6, have issues with ActiveBar as well. Mainly the accelerator and shortcut keys. If VFP exposed OnKeyUp/Down events of forms, this could be overcome. DD says that version 2.0 of ActBar will have it's own key events.
