Hi Armin,
>This is what the MSDN lib says: "This flag has no effect on the user's ability to interact with windows other than those associated with hWnd." In Win 3.x systemmodal was something, that really blocked all other apps that were running. Today, systemmodal is applmodal + "always stay on top regardless what app is active".

So I will rename "MB_SYSTEMMODAL" to "MB_OnTopOfAll" ::).

>IMO, the behaviour of MessageBox with timeout definetely is! It seems, that the window handle of the main VFP window is not passed correctly to the Win API MessageBox function when using the timeout clause.

Let's see how long we will see this 'feature'
