>>I've got a VFP6 application that makes use of the MESSAGEBOX() function to provide feedback to the user when a given activity is completed. In some cases, the MESSAGEBOX ends up behind the VFP window making the user think that the app has hung. In reality, the MESSAGEBOX is still waiting for a response, so if for example ENTER is pressed, the default button is chosen and control returns to my app. Alt-Tabbing off the app and back causes the MESSAGEBOX window to appear again.
