Typo I think. You mean 4096, right?

>All my messageboxes use the timeout parameter - I haven't tried/noticed this behavior without using the timeout. Another thing: Although this 4092 value in the "nDialogBoxType" parameter is not documented in the help file, it IS referenced in the Intellisense tooltip that is displayed when entering the parameters - AND, it mentions that it is to be used when the TIMEOUT parameter is used.

>>Interesting. This behavior only seems to be exhibitied if the Timeout parameter is specified. Is that what you're seeing?

>>>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.

>>>Is there a way to change this property of the Dialog box or to I have to create my own Messagebox class and substitute it for all the places that I've used the messagebox().
