Hi Sergey,

If I could set WINDOWSTATE=2 for an instant without the form flashing, that would do it, but it always flashes even with LOCKSCREEN=.T. Is there some way to keep it from flashing?

I can't figure out how to get the available screen height from SYSMETRIC(). I've tried SYSMETRIC(2) Screen height, SYSMETRIC(22) Maximized window height, and SYSMETRIC(9) Height of window title, but I can't get it down to what WINDOWSTATE=2 gives me.

When I set WINDOWSTATE=2 :
Form.Height=862
SYEMETRIC(2)=1024
SYSMETRIC(9)=23
SYSMETRIC(22)=969
