    Transparency: Make the Window Background of Your VFP Forms transparent (Windows XP ... 10 / 11)

    Hi Mike, I assume Chriss is right in everything he wrote if you set Desktop = .T., VFP makes the window internally a top level window - not shown in the Taskbar that's why your code now also works with Windows 7 I believe it even works with Windows 2000, XP and Vista ... Regards, Stefan
