Hi George,

>It's got a lot to do with Windows messaging. That's the problem with, for example, the Coolbar 6.0 controls. I believe that VFP's main window processes all the messages not the individual forms, except in the case of a top-level form. If you use SendMessage() to close it, VFP closes as well.

Yep. The Window procedure is the same for all VFP windows, including toolbar, status bar, etc.
