I'm trying to automate a VFP .exe from Visual Lisp running in autocad. When I show a form, the autocad display is frozen and when you move the form around the screen by dragging it with the taskbar, the autocad display can't update itself.

This is just a test with 2 classes, one is the form, and one creates the form and issues a read events.

Here is code in the class that instantiates the form class. It's set as olepublic.

x = createobject("helloform")
x.show(2)
read events
release x

the only code in the form is 'clear events' in the forms destroy. I set the form properties as:

.autocenter = .t.
.desktop = .f.
.showwindow = 2 && as top-level

I compile as a .exe

Any ideas why AutoCAD can't update it's display while the form is showing?

Any ideas?
