Tracy,
Several things.
1) I put in that Show Window based upon someone's suggestion. But, I
DID just now take it out.
2) You referred to "... base class of your forms". FYI - I'm just
doing Forms - an SCX - not a Class - like a VCX.
3) I think that in your Psuedo code/instructions in your other
e-mail, that you had the ShowWindow # settings Flip-Flopped! I followed your
instructions - but, switched around the #1 & 2 settings - opposite from what
you wrote - and - Voila! It works! The 2nd Form properly Floats WITHIN the
1st Form - as I wanted it - and if you shove it aside - it disappears within
the side of the 1st Form! Excellent indeed. Although, my initial code - I
thought I pretty much had the same coding already. Will now analyze to see
what went wrong.
Also, when I now run that WParent() function - it properly displays name of
the 1st Form Name - from within the 2nd Form!
So - just so you know. What I am attempting to do is make the 2nd Form run
in an "intelligent" manner. I need the 2nd form to "known" the dimensions of
the Form its running within. Then, I want the 2nd Form to Move towards the
Bottom of the area within the 1st Form. And, how much it moves will also be
dependent and what is displayed in the 2nd Form - which must Shrink or Grow
depending on some variables & Text to be displayed in the 2nd Window. So -
that's what I am working on next...
Thanks again for ALL YOUR HELP - Much Appreciated!!!
-K-

Kurt,
VFP prior to VFP 9 SP 2 had trouble with being able to change the form
caption on the fly on child windows. There was also display issues with
borders not correctly appearing in the Vista/Windows 7 Areo Glass theme.
One of the workarounds to this problem was to have a SHOW WINDOW in the INIT
process.
So, I ask again. Does the base class of your forms have this SHOW WINDOW? If
it does, this could be the root of your problem.
