Hi Michael,

If you use VFP7 you can just correct the Init method of the _WindowHandle class:

...
	If Type( "ThisForm") = "O"
		.FrameHandle = .GetHWnd( ThisForm, .T.)
		.FormHandle = .GetHWnd( ThisForm)
		If .FormHandle = 0
			.FormHandle = .FrameHandle
		EndIf
	Else
...

change to

...
	If Type( "ThisForm") = "O"
		If Val( _VFP.Version) < 7
			.FrameHandle = .GetHWnd( ThisForm, .T.)
			.FormHandle = .GetHWnd( ThisForm)
		Else
			Declare Integer GetParent In Win32API Integer
			Declare Integer GetWindow In Win32API Integer, Integer

			.FrameHandle = ThisForm.HWnd
			.FormHandle = GetWindow( ThisForm.HWnd, 5)
		EndIf
		If .FormHandle = 0
			.FormHandle = .FrameHandle
		EndIf
	Else
...

this resolves the problem.
But if you use earlier version of VFP you will have to wait a little, I will fix this fault and upload the updated library soon.
