Hi Charlie,

Did you try the code I pointed you to?

>Thanks for the pointer, Sergey. I have not used Windows API calls before, and the various things I'm trying so far (snipped from the Windows API pages on Universal Thread) are not producing the desired result.

>I want the called exe to act as much like a modal form as possible. The exe consists of a Main.prg and a single form. The Main.prg says:

>Application.Visible = .F.
>DO FORM Foo.scx
>READ EVENTS

>The form has these properties set:

>AlwaysOnTop = .T.
>ShowWindow = 2 && top-level form
>WindowType = 1 && modal

>lcApplicationTitle = THISFORM.Caption
>DECLARE INTEGER FindWindow IN Win32API ;
> STRING @lpClassName, ;
> STRING @lpWindowName
>lnHWnd = FindWindow(0, @lcApplicationTitle)
>
>* Bring my window to the foreground (though my form properties

>DECLARE SHORT SetForegroundWindow IN USER32.DLL INTEGER hWnd
>SetForegroundWindow(lnHWnd)
>
>* Try to make mine the active window (this may happen briefly,
>* but focus goes right back to the FP 2.6 app):
>DECLARE INTEGER SetActiveWindow IN USER32 INTEGER hWnd
>SetActiveWindow(lnHWnd)
>
