Me, too. I've got a more "extreme" point of view on interface design. I'd like to have as much Windows compliance as possible. But I know, there are many people having their own background colors for forms or thinking that optical (is that the right word?) things are not that important - as long as the app does it's job in a good way.

Some examples: When selecting text with the mouse in a textbox in a VFP app, you can select the text with some trailing blanks you've never entered. Ok, that's not that bad. But have you ever positioned the cursor somewhere in a textbox, pressed the left mouse button and dragged the mouse out of the textbox to the right? The whole content of the textbox scrolls out to the left! IMO this is a strange behaviour and looks strange to the customers, because they don't have this behaviour in other applications.

Also standard shortcut keys are not working in VFP: Shift+End in a a textbox only works sometimes, Shift+Strg+End doesn't work, etc.

When having special colors in my apps, I always use a windows system color constant and my apps respond to a change in the Windows system colors when they're running.

I'm making a lot efforts to get as close as possible to the standard behaviour. Maybe sometimes a little too much, but I like it <g>.

I will ;-)
