Looks fine. Tell me, however, are you just trying to get the window handle of the _SCREEN? If so, there may be a better (less code) way.

>>Using AddProperty() for the _SCREEN or _VFP might break existing code. In playing around with the beta, I noted that forms designed in 6.0 with a custom hwnd property didn't cause any problems when opened in 7.0. The only problem that I ran into was code that assigned the property (via _WhTohWnd() and _WFindTitl() in Foxtools) generated an error since the property in 7.0 is read-only. Fairly simple to workaroud with a compiler directive, however.

Not a bad idea. I must admit that I haven't used a window handle property that much in my 6.0 stuff.
