In VFP 7 it is either always on top or completely disappears when I either select a method to edit or click on a control. I want to always be there when I am viewing the form.

>With Docked and Always on Top unchecked, Properties window in VFP7 behaves the same way as in VFP6, at least on my PC's at home and at work (Win2kSP3). It's possible that I'm missing something. Can you provide step by step sceanario of what you are doing and what doesn't work as you expect it to.

After some futher testing I find the following. Since form and properties diaglogue (form) overlap that unless either Dockable or Always on Top is selected the properties dialogue aways goes to the back and if it is maximize it appears to disappear. The problem (for me) is that when editing a method the properites form stays on top and obscures the code. What I would like is to keep the propeties form vissible when working on a form, but not when editing methods. Is there a way of doing that?

P.S. Could not find information on dockable and Always on Top

in help file.
