I looked at WOUTPUT(), but this is what it says in the help:

"Determines whether output is being directed to the active or specified window."

That implies that it may not return the active window.

The timer runs in VFP. It runs in the background and occasionally executes some code that contains ACTIVATE SCREEN. The problem is that when other code wants to do something with the active window, the active window has changed and it crashes.

I need to "undo" the ACTIVATE SCREEN when I'm done with it. The active window has to go back to being whatever it was before whether that be a window, a form, a toolbar, the screen, whatever.

Thanks,

Michelle


>I always used woutput() in FP26. Have you tried that? Are you trying to return to an active window after a timer event that is run from within VFP-or is the timer event external of vfp and you want to return to vfp and the active window?
