Erik,

>And when do you think you might be able to catch VFP at design time when the screen isn't running, so you can modify it's code? What you are asking for is a way to create a _SCREEN class that you can use in your apps. Beginning to sound more like a top level form?

I know, I know... I was hoping that the VFP team had implemented a way to add event code at runtime, esspecially for _Screen (I'll bet this souds very naive). I don't really want to make the change for toplevel forms if not absolutely neccesary, since there are other issue to adress, esspecially in my framework for that matter. I guess I'll stay with checking properties in my internal timer event.
