When using the timeout parameter of the MessageBox, pass 4096 (MB_SYSTEMMODAL) in the DialogBoxType parameter to make it System Modal (this way it won't appear behind your application).

MessageBox("blah blah", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION, "Title", 10000)

The only problem is the form icon for the messagebox is not the same one you normally get in FoxPro.


>When you call the VFP Messagebox Function with the timeout parameter, it opens in a new window. The could be a problem since you can click on another program running in windows and then click back to the VFP app leaving the Messagebox window behind the scenes. This will also leave a user clicking all over the VFP app to no avail.
