>>Perhaps I misunderstood the original question. What I understood was the Francois wanted an image to always be centered in the main VFP window (i.e. _SCREEN). That is, if _SCREEN is resized by the user, the image repositions itself to the center of the _SCREEN. As far as I know this cannot be done using the _SCREEN RESIZE event as _SCREEN has no RESIZE event. So, I create a form that I place my image on plus a timer which fires every .5 seconds and centers the form with the image. If the user resizes the screen, the timer fires ( after a very short delay ) and recenters the form and thus my image. Sorry if I was unclear or misunderstood the question.

Hi Francois,

If you set it up right, it works pretty well. I DISABLE/ENABLE the timer and HIDE the form depending on whether forms are running in the app.
