_SCREEN.hWnd is a new VFP 7.0 property that gets the "Window Handle" of the Main VFP Window and seems to work (I'm still using VFP 7.0 Beta 2).

Prior to VFP 7.0, one could use the Windows FindWindow() function or the FOXTOOLS MAINHWND() function to get the VFP Main Window Handle; these also worked as expected, prior to 7.0.

However, in 7.0, FindWindow() and MAINHWND() do not appear to return the Main VFP Window Handle; instead, they return one of the immediate "invisible" child windows. It seems now only _SCREEN.hWnd works properly in 7.0. Consequently, I/we are now having to do a version check when working with these functions.

Normally I wouldn't care but I'm creating some "stuff" that might be used by 6.0 and 7.0 developers.

Anybody else notice the same thing, or is it (maybe) only a Beta 2 problem ?

Can't be a bug on my part ...

:)
