Paul,
Honest, I wasn't trying to "break" anything, I just seem to cause myself problems without really trying! (It's a natural talent I wish some of the people I work with would consider developing.)

Thanks again for the contribution - you know I wouldn't have bothered you unless I found it worth using.

It really looks good and now it "can't be broken"! Just one minor point, it looks like you lost the mask, because I getting the "green" on the toolbar button again.

>>Now just couple observations and a suggestion. Because the Toolbox is a VFP window it shows up on the Menu under the Window pad. If you select (click on) this menu item, and the window is currently hidden, the window appears half-way out and can't be moved. (Even worse is if you type Activate Window Toolbox in the command window!) Also, if you do an explict Release Window Toolbox in the command window, the Toolbar stays and no longer has any functionality. Perhaps some additional code in the Form Activate and Destroy methods to keep everything coordinated can clean these up.

On both my desktop home machine and the one at the office, the toolbox appears/disappears at approx. the same speed as Visual Studio.NET does. However, when I loaded it up onto my notebook it was significantly slower (and not quite as smooth). I guess differences in video cards make a big difference in the speed (which isn't too surprising, I just wasn't expecting it).
