Terry,

Native VFP forms in 7.0 have an hWnd property that represents the Window handle. Note that in reality, a form with its ShowWindow property set to 0 is a different class than one with the property set to 2 (As top-level form). The former has a single window handle. The latter has two, the frame and client area. The latter of which is not exposed as a property.

ActiveX controls have a window handle. Whether or not it's exposed as a property is another matter. The TreeView for example, does expose this property, but it wasn't documented until recently.

The native VFP controls, however, are not windows (as before) and thus have no window handle associated with them. Labels, BTW, don't have window handles period, not even in C++. These are created with the API call DrawText().
