I will try to make it. If someone could update the website with meeting details, that would be great. I have been trying to make it to a meeting for a few months, but the website is never updated until after the meeting (it seems). All emails that I have sent have gone unanswered.

>Here is Mike's topic:
>
>Hooking Windows System Events -
>VFP 9.0 brings with it the ability to hook into Windows system events and
>run custom VFP code when those events occur. When a new drive, such as a
>USB memory drive, is plugged in, VFP 9.0 can fire code to copy files, import
>records, or anything else VFP can do. When a laptop begins to hibernate or
>go to standby, a developer can now save changes, close tables, or do any
>other cleanup work before the system goes to sleep. Developers can trap
>events that occur in custom windows or even windows in the VFP IDE. Mike
>will explain and demonstrate the basics of Windows messages, the windows
>procedures used to process messages, and hooking into system events to run
>custom event code.
