Luis,

The AutoYield property was not properly documented in VFP 5, don't know about 6.

VFP programmers should be aware of its existence and check if it applies to the particular OCX they are implementing.
Mabry and Catalyst FTP OCXs, Sheridan Calendar Widgets need the AutoYield to be set to .F.

We had a discussion of how to implement the Autoyield property in 97, and Paul Vlad Tatavu came with the cleaner implementation, that I paste here.

"Assuming that you don't want to set it at the beggining of you app, I would say that you should have a global var or app property to keep the number of active OCX that need Autoyield = .F. You should increment it in Init and decrement it in Destroy. The ocx that decrements it to zero, resets it to .t."
