Hello Malcolm,

I thought you were able to make some headway a couple of months ago in doing autocomplete within VFP.

A VFP textbox does not have an hWnd handle. See Thread #412205 Message #412205 for more...

>Is it possible to obtain a hWnd window handle to a native VFP textbox? (Why? Its a long story for another thread) Anyway, it is my understanding that VFP has its own funky way of dealing with its native controls that prevents VFP's native controls from exposing a true hWnd window handle. I was hoping there might be some 'secret' technique exposed by the Foxtools.fll that might sneak around this limitation?
