I've read some of the other comments (and like the DirectX idea) and I had a thought you might want to consider.

One of the pieces of information you may need is the window handle of the client area of the VFP desktop. With VFP 6.0, this can be a bit tricky to get, but it's usually the last child of the main VFP frame. With VFP 7.0, the desktop is accessed through the _SCREEN system variable, has its own property holding the window handle. This is something you may want to consider in view of the immenent release of the product.
