VFP5 is not a "win97" certefied development environment (and remember that it was release before the other 5.0 tools) what this means is that it lacks an event for the mouse focus leaving the object as you probably notice you can emulate this to some extent by making all your object mouse aware - so they will reset any other contol when in thier Mousemove event - I've implemnted the win97 style buttons this way and it works ok however you would probably get better results with 3rd party ActiveX control that are already out there - like the menu ocx available on the MS site or the ActiveBar from datadynamics (http://www.datadynamics.com) Arnon > > I am trying to get same effect from my ToolBar as IE 3.0 ToolBar (also > found in every application of Office 97 and many popular programs) .
