>I am trying to get window handles of other applications from my app, and I've been using succesfully GetActiveWindow in VB3.0 (16bit). I am trying to do the same thing from VFP with DECLARE Long GetActiveWindow IN user32 (which declares it, no problem), but when it comes to running it I cannot get the handle of any other applications' window (returns 0), though it returns the correct handle when the VFP app running the function is active.
>What am I missing? BTW, the function behaves identically in VB 5.0, so my problem must be something inherent to the GetActiveWindow function IN user32.

Do you have you function being called from a timer. (You must)

I have had problems in VFP where the timer doesn't execute
unless fox is the active application.
