>Bernard, I tried it and it does work. There is one proviso though. The GetFocus API call actually gets the keyboard focus. Because the controls on the form don't have actual window handles, it works. But, and hopefully this is just a small but, try this:

Thanks Alan.

Actually this GetFocus() was the only API I could find to give me a handle on the window. Most others I looked at needed the Caption to be passed to identify the form clicked.

Finally I got this API thanks to Jim Booth. I know there are limitations. I use this as a splash screen and almost as is. So no problem.

I will investigate your reply soon.

Thanks

Bernard
