Hi Charlie,

You should be able find all the declarations at http://news2news.com.
I'm not sure why you're looking for anything else if SetActiveWindow() and/or SetForegroundWindow() work for you.

> SetForegroundWindow(VFPwindowhandle)
> AttachThreadInput(lnThreadVFP, lnThread2, 0)

> SetForegroundWindow(VFPwindowhandle)

Shouldn't I just need the window handle for my form (ThisForm.HWnd) to pass to the appropriate API function (SetActiveWindow() and/or SetForegroundWindow())?
