Hi Rick,

To the best of my knowledge, native VFP controls don't have a hWnd - only the top-level screen has one.

I think this has its roots in VFP's use of a bitmap representation of the controls, rather than native windows controls. This, in turn, has something to do with the requirements from when there was a mac version.

Bottom line is that individual controls don't have a hWnd in VFP.

Cheers,

Andrew

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
