Yes - interesting you asked. I quess I could restrict it's usage to that of an application workspace (with no objects). I have thought about that. Hmmm.

>>My framework uses a toplevel form instead of _SCREEN. When the toplevel form is activated, _SCREEN.ActiveForm returns the correct object reference to the toplevel form.
>>
>>The same holds true with other modeless child forms which are activated on top of the toplevel form and when I shift focus between these child forms (firing the form's Activate event), _SCREEN.ActiveForm will always return the correct active form's object reference.
>>
>>The problem occurs when I shift focus back to the toplevel form after a child form has been activated. _SCREEN.ActiveForm will always return the reference to the last child form activated even after the toplevel form's Activate event has fired and now has focus.

>>IF VARTYPE(goApp) = "O" AND NOT goApp.oActiveForm = This
>> goApp.oActiveForm = This
>>ENDIF
