I have a question regarding the following.

From my reading I understood that activate event only is triggered when
you launce a form within a form.
My question is.
Are there any way or metode to get the same function when running a stand alone
app (.exe).
When the app is not active I want to disable a timer.
Timer.interval=0

I have 5 different apps communicating with a PLC. There is a lot of traffic
on the com port. When one app is not active I want to disable the timer.
The timer only trigger a Refresh and the refresh metode of my classes does communication with the PLC.

In my old C code WM_ACTIVATE fuction like this but I'm not sure with VFP.
