Yes, you just need to send the MB statement "Set ProgressBars Off and this will stop the MapInfo "out of process" exe causing the switch to... In VB MI.do "Set ProgressBars off" On A similar issue however it is well documented by Microsoft that an exe calling an EXE as an out of process exe that then calls a modal dialog box will also cause this switch to.... When you send MI OLE object "Set Application Window" it manages to reparent its dialog boxes, of which many are modal, to the out of process exe. Anybody out there know what API calls allow one exe to reparent another exes modal windows as MI achieves?
