Hi Gregory,

A generic mechanism allowing VFP to make use of callback functions would be great to have. I've often wondered why no one has done this before. It would close one of the most frequently cited holes in VFP's ability to be fully integrated into the Windows API environment.

I don't have any particularly urgent examples to offer at the moment, but I recall that such fundamental capabilities as process and window enumeration are hindered without callbacks. Eventually, I'm sure I'll run into a situation where the inability to use callback functions from VFP becomes a real pain, and I dread having to mess with an alternative development environment just to create a silly little wrapper function. If I must employ another language than VFP, let it be for a better reason than this.

In short, please go for it!
