>A window handle, I assume. VFP controls don't have them (ActiveX, however, do). In VFP 7.0, the forms have an hwnd property that represents the window handle. In VFP 6.0 you can use foxtools to get a particular window handle. Assuming the library's loaded:

Yes George, that is what I needed. I am working on an out of process spinner to show during long operations which may lead the user to beleive a lock up has occured. I will share what I come up with, unfortunately, it may only be academic before VFP7... My ultimate desire is to get the window handle of a picture or image control.
