The only way I know of is to check the position, as shown in the sample. I think that's why they used the timer. There is a reference, however, to providing a callback window handle. I don't know for certain, but suspect, that you'd have to define a callback function as well. Since you can't do this in VFP, it's probably another reason why they used the timer.
