I had a chat with the people from the DBI Controls at SWFox 2007, The ActiveX control completes its setup when it becomes visible. Since then, when I work with an ActiveX control with a visual element, I use the Forms Activate event and IsFirstActivate property to manage visual behaviors. It appears this would be another side affect to be aware of.

I have to set visible to .T. then .F. to make it go away even though the visible was set to .F. to start with. The code is not production, just looking at it in debug. What I found annoying was the activescreen didn't even exist in the forms. Just a moan really I guess.

The behavior of ActiveX controls is to be their own window. This is the reason there are ActiveX controls that bleed through PageFrames. Perhaps that is related to what you are seeing. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/000801c9ccca$c01e96a0$405bc3...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
