Hilmar,

Sort of, kind of...

With the Popup method, for example, however, there'd be no way to return the result.

Something like Sleep, OTOH, would work since no value has to be returned. I'd say, however, that it's probably much more efficient to just declare the API call and use that.

BTW, VFP 7.0's Intellisense does a great job of exposing the properties. Since the parameter lists are shown as well, it makes it really easy to deal with any COM object.
