I don't think we can have two sets of buttons up and active at once. There just doesn't appear to be a way of emulating event-driven stuff with the DOS type of screen (at least not with the mouse).

I'm not sure what WindowType 2 even means. Are you talking about the ShowWindow property? WindowType only has settings of 0 and 1. A ShowWindow property of 2 means "As Top-level Form".

As far as the DOS stuff goes, FPD doesn't really have windows the way VFP does. Any buttons you define at the same read level are active. You may want to try it.
