Paul,
Well, I finally got around to looking at this, and I'm afraid that it seems to confirm my guess as stated above.
I was able to implement the form as the article specified without problem in VB. In VFP, it was another story.
In VFP 6.0 SP5 I created a form, and like you, confirmed that the window with the Auto-Suggest Dropdown class did exist. I even tried grabbing its window handle (which I did) and issuing a call to ShowWindow() with SW_RESTORE. The best I could get was to make the window "flash" in the upper left hand corner of the VFP screen with each key press.
I then copied the form into the VFP 7.0 Beta 1 directory and tried again. A bit more luck, but still not what you'd want. The Auto-Suggest Dropdown again appeared in the upper left corner and stayed. Unfortunately there was no information in it that could be accessed. Further, the window persisted until after I closed VFP.
I think that my reaction that this may be tied to VFP's message handling may be correct.
Sorry,
George
