Hi!

This will work only if your main window is modeless. If it is modal - no way, because child window will lock all other VFP windows until you close it (modal window principle). This happens also when any modal window opened before you main form openeed with this child window - child window will become modal despite parent form is modeless.

You can, of course, use THISFORM.Show() to activate the parent window, then it will be closable and will handle events properly. However, you require focus in that child window to edit the code, that will lock the main window.

If you require that form modal... After MODI COMMAND, you can try to place some control (like a "close" button) in the child window using the reference to the child window object as Sergey suggested (DEFINE WINDOW ... NAME oMyWindowVariable), however, I do not know how it co-behave with the code editor.

Or, make a modal state simulation. Put a timer on form and check if form is active using form's flag. Set flag to .F. (not active) in the deactivate event of the form. Timer when see that form deactivated actiates the form again using SHOW() method of form. Its good idea to us 10ms for timer interval. I did used this approach once to avoid modal form restrictions by using modeless form and do not allow to deactivate it.

HTH.
