Hi,

I've also made a messagebox/inputbox replacement but I have the same 'problem' as both of yours. That is, if I call the inputbox.fxp from demo.exe, then the .fxp is locked, even after it finishes. I think an example will be better:

Make a project call demo add a prg call demo:

demo.prg
x=inputbox()
wait window 'Waiting'

Exclude inputbox from the project and build demo.exe (I've also removed the set procedure to inputbox.prg for this test)

Run demo.exe from one machine, and then try to change and compile inputbox.prg from another, and you can't!
The only way is, if you ran demo.exe from the command window, then issue clear all, otherwise finish it. But for this type of programs, that will hopefully run in lots of applications/machines is not something allways posible to do.

Do you know if there is a solution for this problem, other than making a 'stub' program? (I didn't try so I dont even know if the 'stub' will work)

Regards,
Hugo
