Really? If you comment out DOEVENTS and Paint(), for example, the problem is still there? And you've suspended the program after the release to confirm that thisform.lockscreen is .f.?

Okay. You get what I'm trying to get you to do, right? You post a lot indicating that you've had a problem then written some code that somehow seems to fix the problem but you're not sure what the problem was, and you're not sure what code fixed it. I'm not sure you get what I meant by "mysteriously fixed code tends to just as mysteriously reoccur." Then you'll be inclined to post this solution to someone with a similar sounding problem but it may or may not be appropriate.

I use a progress bar control on a form subclass a lot and haven't had to use either paint() or doevents for it. Not to say you don't need it, but you haven't convinced me. For whatever that is worth, which ain't a lot.
