Armin,

I am almost sure that I miss your point somewhere. "VFP Main Window" ? Do you mean the _SCREEN instance ?

Anyway, when I look at my own app and a modal form popping up, I really can't do anything with all other windows. Not my "Main Window" (sure not being _SCREEN), not any other forms, nothing. It just hasn't control at all.
In fact I'd say it's kinda other way around : when a modal form is active, no other events at other forms will fire, whereas in the normal Windows environment it could. Just have an app active and mouseover the IE buttons. They "move", right ? Well, my emulated same button behaviour won't on a form that's inactive while the modal form is.

But I suppose you talk about the _SCREEN instance. I'd never show that from within an app ...

Peter
