Hi all,

I posted a problem regarding a messagebox wrapper (E_MSGBOX()) using the timeout functionality. A non-documented second parameter value (although it shows in Intellisense) of 4096 was supposed to be added to make sure that the messagebox() is displayed on top of all Windows forms.

My problem was with our E_MSGBOX() wrapper. When I preceeded the function with equal sign as such: =E_MSGBOX("Test message"), the messagebox was displayed behind the application. I was able to consistently produce this behavior. When I removed the equal sign so that its: E_MSGBOX("Test message"), the messagebox displayed properly to the front of the application - consistently.

Should I be concerned with this behavior on other functions considering that some parts of our application were ported to VFP directly from FPDOS? Was there a VFP (any version) release note regarding this behavior?
