* NOSHOW - start the form invisible * NAME ThisForm.oRef - bound the form to this property (which must exist ;-)))) DO FORM MyScrollablePictureForm.SCX NAME ThisForm.oRef NOWSHOW * This is the trick - using the old fashioned window commands with the VFP object syntax ACTIVATE WINDOW ( ThisForm.oRef.Name ) IN WINDOW ( ThisForm.Name ) * Now moving the window to the right place * BTW: Here you can use a proxy pattern to define size and location of your scrollable image control! ThisForm.oRef.Left = ... ThisForm.oRef.Top = ...BTW: This code is not really tested yet, typing errors are possible!
