Jon,

I'm no longer exactly sure of what it is that you're trying to do, get a window handle for the child or programmatically change the focus. Under the assumption that it's the latter, here's a solution.

You're right about using the SetFocus API call. I've been able to change the focus of a window using it. Here's how:

I dropped a FoxHWnd control on the form. In the form's activate event I assigned the HWnd property to an element in a global array. I created an identical form and did the same thing, simply changing the element number. In the click event of the command button on each form, I called the SetFocus API call, using the element of the array that applied to the other form. I'm sure you get the idea of how to apply this.

As a side note, I previously tried retrieving the window handle using the GetTopWindow API call in the form's Activate event. Surprisingly, the window handles for the two elements of the array were identical. I'd like someone to explain that one to me.

I hope that this will help you solve your problem.

George
