>In VFP8, the MESSAGEBOX() is not AlwaysOnTop. This is a problem because not-so-savvy users may not click on the buttons of the message box dialog. Instead, they may click back on the form behind the messagebox. When this happens, it appears to "hang-up" the computer - Actually, what happens is the messagebox is modal but is not contained within the VFP application - instead, apparently its "ShowWindow" property is 2 - As Top Level form.

It seems that you can set the MBox to be system modal with this undocumented parameters:
#DEFINE MB_SYSTEMMODAL 4096
#DEFINE MB_TASKMODAL 8192
