Hi all,

Ran across some really old code only used in one spot in an app - it was a wrapper class that it looks like I created in 2003 using ideas, it seems, from Stonefield.

It is a wrapper to Microsoft common dialog control version 6. I copied in the constants from the original article/sample or whatever it was but now can't find the original article. It might have also come as part of some Stonefield product.

Anyhow, have traced down an error in the app that if the user leaves this dialog up and running (why, I do not know) at night when the system is trying to do a forced shutdown (so that maintenance can be done), that the app is not able to close.

First thought was to try to see if there was a flag that could be set to timeout on the dialog but a) have not found a .h file to go with the control and b) any searches for similar MS dialogs do not seem to have a flag anyhow.

So first question would be, any idea if dialogs from MSFT have timeout capability?

Secondly, if not, how can I programmatically tell if the dialog is open and how do I kill it? The built-in standard shutdown routine shuts down all open forms but this is not a form - maybe I have to call an api in Windows to tell me the topmost form and then figure out if it is a vfp form or ??? just thinking out loud here...
