>Try this:
>On one VFP form put one ActiveX control (TreeView control for instance) and how many of the standart VFP controls, how you like (Grid, TextBox, ComboBox, etc.). Start this form and start Spy++ (Start/Programs/Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0/Tools/Spy++). This tool is primarily designed for working with VC++, but in this case is useful. When you find VFP windows in the Spy++ tree, you'll see, that only really window on this form is TreeView control!!!!
>That is the reason I call VFP "Visual (For) Paint" - all VFP controls are just drawed!!! They are not really objects!!! That is the reason for slow work of VFP at all and for problems with ActiveX controls (for instance you cannot put (at run-time) VFP control over TreeView!!!).

In VFP there is no objects and VFP is slow and it's misguiding MS call it OO application. Great observance :) Since this is windows world all should be windows :)
